Description
The Valley Trail is a relatively tame, mile-long trail connecting Old Briones Road Trail to Briones Crest Trail. Hiking west to east, it is a gradual uphill with a short climb at the end to reach Briones Crest Trail, but all-in-all nothing too strenuous. The trail skirts the woods, staying mostly in the open until the end, so it can get hot in the summer.
