Description
Dairy Trail joins Dutch Flat Trail and Brush Trail. It typically is part of a longer multi-trail hike. The Dairy Trail start shown here, is found at a well-marked trail junction at the 0.7 mile mark along Dutch Flat Trail. Follow the singpost arrow to go left/southeast onto Dairy Trail. Dairy trail is flat as it begins in thin woods and brush. Heading southeast, the trees become sparser, and brush surrounds the trail. Around the 0.3 mile mark, grassy open areas mixed with brush allow views of the Diablo Range and Mt. Hamilton to the left/east-northeast, all the way to the trail end. Dairy Trail ends after 0.9 miles, at the 0.6 mile mark along Brush Trail.
