About this spot
A windswept natural area with a paved limited-access road, dirt paths, and wide city views from Bernal Hill. Families can choose a short summit out-and-back rather than following one fixed loop.

Planning notes
💡
Use the paved road when wheels or steadier footing matter, and expect a real hill rather than a flat stroll. Keep children close around dogs because the park includes a designated off-leash area.
Pick an out-and-back based on energy rather than forcing a loop
The paved limited-access road offers the most predictable surface
Dirt paths are uneven and exposed
Bring layers for the wind even on sunny days
