Confirmed from Coyote Hills Regional Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
1,266 acres of rolling hills for picnicking, bird-watching, biking, hiking & nature exploration.

Hello fellow reviewers 👋🏽 This is one of my favorite places on Earth. Yes, I know that's a big thing to say but this place is wonderful because the choices of experiences you can have with nature are varied and pleasant.Terrain is equally varied and the weather is usually good unless it is raining.
One of my favorite places to run in the bay: 1. Hills are lush green with wildflowers usually around Feb-Mar. 2. Several loops you can choose from for hiking/running/biking based on how long you want to go. One of my personal favorites is around the bay - you get to see the hills from a little far away. 3.
Such a beautiful and peaceful place! The views of the Bay and Dumbarton Bridge are absolutely stunning, especially around sunset. The trails are a mix of flat and a little hilly — perfect for all levels, whether you want a relaxed walk or a mini workout.
