Confirmed from Las Trampas - Del Amigo Trail Entrance'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.

I like hills - this ridge climb is all uphill. This is quite the climb to the top of the ridge. Views were amazing. Took trapline trail down the otherside and the chamise / trail loop back. So much coyote mint- one of my favorites. Some fossils and pretty rocks on trails.
I love this trail. At times it is very steep. It goes through a shady, riparian area before it opens up to a meadow with views of the Tao House. You can walk into the Tao house property and walk around. Plenty of parking on the street. The trail entrance is a slit in the fence so it might be easy to miss.
So happy we found this trail. It's a little challenging for our little guy but the landing at Eugene ONeill was a huge bonus. Careful with the cows around as there is a bull in the herd and he can get too close to the path.
Beautiful trail with a view on the San Ramon Valley. Start slight steep but further along the trail it is moderate.some in the shade and some sunny, do not forget your hat.
