Stonewall-Panoramic Trail

I made this trail my first home on my first trip to the Bay area. I was not disappointed. I think this is a medium difficulty mountain trail, but there are definitely level stopping/resting points if it becomes too taxing. The views that it offers of oakland, SF, and the Bay area awesome. If you want to hit the summit then I recommend hiking shoes or boots as you will need to do some "climbing" on rocky surfaces to reach the very top. Sunrise and sunset seem to be the optimal times to hike it.

Wow. What a gem of a trail. It is certainly not for the faint of heart. It's VERY steep. But the views are absolutely stunning. It will make the climb totally worth it. There is street parking at the trail head. There are no bathrooms or water there, so plan accordingly.

Great view. Relatively steep and tough trail, but not very long. Less than 1 hour to the top. About 1.5 hr round trip. Dog friendly. People are nice. No shades on the most part of the trail. No bathroom. Lots of street parking around the entrance of the trail.
