Customer Reviews
Beautiful private camps along the Ohlone ridge connecting Sunol to Del Valle. The camps are sparse for travelers. Pit toilets and water that needs to be filtered (if available). The uphill trails from Sunol Regional are fairly steep uphill, suggest hiking there before making reservations and hauling gear.
Easy to moderate hike, great views, lots of parking space.
Awesome hiking trails. Had fun with team mates
