Description
The dirt road ascends gently but steadily from the Foothill Staging Area to Pleasanton Ridge. Most of the way is through open grassland on the east-facing slope with an abundance of wildflowers in winter and spring. Reach the ridge at 1.3 miles. Several trails meet here, Oak Tree Trail continues southwest and descends again until it reaches Thermalito Trail.
