Mulholland Ridge Open Space Preserve Mulholland Ridge is a 250 acre open space area along Donald Drive on the boundary of Orinda and Moraga.
The ridge is relatively high, offering breathtaking views on a clear day of the Moraga valley and the Diablo Range.
It is a lovely, quiet trail that runs along the ridge of the Mulholland Ridge Open Space Preserve.
Dogs may be off-leash at the top (inside the gates and only on the paved area) as long as the owner has control.
Directions: Start from the Hacienda parking lot. Follow trail signs leading up the hill behind the main building. Exit gate at top of Hacienda trail, turn left on Donald Drive. Continue up Donald Drive and past the gate that is the entrance to the top section. Follow the (mostly) paved roadway up the hill. Walk .5 miles to the Mulholland water tower. Return via the same route.
