Description

The Madrone Trail stays approximately mid-mountain level and runs the length of Las Trampas Regional Park. It is accessible by bike from Las Trampas Road and Camille Ave in Alamo and from Del Amigo Road and Remington Drive in Danville.

Much of the ride is shaded as you ride around ridge faces to get to the canyons. But, there are great views several places along the way. While the slope of the road is reasonable, the terrain is surprisingly steep and rugged off the edge of the road.
