The Juniper Trail isn’t that great in March and we could hardly seen at wildflowers. Probably in late spring or early summer but other trail was great I don’t remember the name.

Difficult hike. But excellent views.
Took 5hrs to reach the summit. And 3hrs to get down.

Parking is easy; enough spots. They have a QR code to pay for parking thru ApplePay (no app needed).

The views at the summit are amazing. There are lot of the curves and also lot of cyclists, so we have to drive carefully. Once at the summit the 360 degree views are super. The park has $10 fee and closed at sunset. There are restrooms at the summit. There are trails from different points to the summit. lot of picnic spots, will be a great spring and summer picnic location.

Beautiful hike, its always lovely to do it, this is one of my favorite places to go in the world, climbing the rock at the summit and always finding wild animals and many mushrooms. The Bob Cat was the size of a Female Husky, this one is bigger than the others I have seen in other places. Hopefully I can find him again in the future, ill be coming more and more

The road is very winding. If you go on the weekend, be careful of cyclists on the road. Entrance fee is $10 per vehicle per day. There are camping areas.

Hi everyone 👋 If you ride a motorcycle, this place should be on your bucket list! We start from Sacramento using CA 160 down to Sacramento river (also existing road) then get to Antioch CA and then up to the Mountain. The road to the top is so exciting, lots of sharp turns, elevation gain, cliffs without guardrails. Everything you need to have fun. There is a great parking lot and a visitor center at the top. The views from the top of the bay area are simply breathtaking. Also you can ride another part of the road and get to the Danville CA
