This regional trail provides trail access between the east edge of Las Trampas Regional Wilderness and the southwest corner of Mount Diablo State Park, at Macedo Ranch Staging Area. This unusual trail winds its way through several neighborhoods and open space areas, sometimes as singletrack, sometimes as dirt road, and sometimes as sidewalk.
