360 degree views of the East Bay from the rolling golden hills of Lime Ridge Open Space. Great for running, mountain biking, and hiking. Miles of trails that loop endlessly. Open sunrise to sunset.

Redwood Regional Park has endless hiking trails throughout the Oakland Hills. Our favorite entrance is at the Skyline Gate Staging Area, which kicks off 3 main trail heads: East Ridge Trail, Stream Trail (which loops up with East Ridge at multiple locations), or West Ridge towards Moon Gate Staging Area.
