Starting from Spring Creek Lane, this trail follows Hanna Grove Trail and Flat Top Trail to the summit of Haystack Hill. Along the way you'll hike through rolling grasslands and oak woodlands before reaching panoramic views of Shell Ridge, Mount Diablo, and the surrounding hills.
This 1.7-mile out-and-back hike features 462 feet of elevation gain, making it a rewarding option for hikers looking for a shorter climb with scenic summit views. The route is mostly exposed, so bring water and plan for limited shade on warmer days.
