Beautiful scenic route of Moraga/San Leandro/Oakland "backcountry".  The route mixes fire-roads, single-track and trail through EBMUD and EBRPD properties on fully public and marked trails, with sweeping views of the Bay Area. Variations on this route have existed for many years in large part due to the grand scenic tour it gives of some of the East Bay's best trails and views.

Water fountains are available at Rancho Laguna Park and in Redwood Regional at Canyon Meadow.
