This segment begins in the western Pinole Valley Watershed and climbs to the ridge over hilly grassland, entering the regional preserve after 1 mile. The preserve’s route is mostly a ridgetop fire road, and partially shaded, providing remarkable views of the mountains that ring the bay.
Hikers and equestrians with trail-use permits access the trail in the watershed; hikers, equestrians, and mountain bikers in regional park. Bicyclists gain access from Coach Drive for 1.2 miles of trail to small loop in Sobrante Ridge Trail, but not permitted between loop and Conestoga Way.
