East Bay Hikes

Shady Trails

Briones has an abundance of shaded trails to keep you cool during the hot weather and covered during the cold seasons when you might encounter drizzle or rain. With over 100 miles of trails and an peak elevation of 1483 feet above sea level, Briones makes a great place to hike all year long except in the harshest of storms. Most of the paths are well maintained though after storms you may encounter downed trees or fallen limbs. These should be reported to East Bay Regional Parks District when found. Some smaller trails are less well maintained, make sure to observe all trail signage when hiking in the area as some trails can become unstable.
