The property will be accessible from a small staging area on Elworthy Circle, just off San Ramon Valley Boulevard. From the staging area, hikers will pass along a half-mile of a trail easement through private property before reaching the Elworthy parcel, which once belonged to a longtime Contra Costa ranching family. Parking at the trailhead is very limited and not allowed in the housing development, so please consider carpooling or taking public transit. The property can also be reached by hiking from the park’s main entrance on Bollinger Canyon Road. If you’ve never visited Las Trampas, plan on bringing binoculars for bird-watching, a picnic to enjoy in one of the park’s many shady picnic sites, and plenty of water.
