Canyon View Trail

Canyon View Trail

A vibrant dog park bathed in sunlight features abundant greenery with mature trees, offering ample shade for leisurely outdoor activities. In the distance is a well-equipped playground that presents an additional activity area. An inviting picnic table spreads out nearby, ideal for enjoying meals al fresco or taking relaxing breaks from play. A neatly-placed trash bin aids in maintaining the park's cleanliness for everyone's enjoyment. Dominating the scene is a generously wide dirt path gracefully curving through the expanse of grass, promising exploratory walks and lively fetch games.

The Canyon View Trail in Sunol Regional Wilderness is suitable for the whole family. It leads through Jacob’s Valley to the scenic gorge on Alameda Creek known as Little Yosemite, and is part of the dog-friendly East Bay Regional Park District.

On this trail you’ll see weathered serpentine, sandstone and basalt outcrops, grasslands and oak woodlands.
