Ridge Top Loop

Starting from the Sugarloaf Hill Benchmark, this route follows Ridge Top Trail through the rolling grasslands of Sugarloaf Open Space before looping back along Center Trail. Along the way you'll enjoy panoramic views of Mount Diablo, Walnut Creek, and the surrounding foothills from one of the park's highest points.

This 1.9-mile loop features 229 feet of elevation gain, making it an easy hike with rewarding ridge views and gentle terrain. The open landscape offers little shade, making early mornings and cooler days especially enjoyable.
