Redwood Peak

Address: Redwood Peak Trail, Oakland, CA 94611, USA

“A challenging hike that will definitely be a workout for most. There is not a payoff in terms of a view or a marker but the intensity means it is an area that is not frequented by casual visitors or bikers so the solitude alone can make this worthwhile. As with all of Redwood Regional, the shade and aura are a welcome relief from the bustle of Oakland.”
