Generally considered a moderately challenging route\, it takes an average of 2 h 23 min to complete. This is a popular trail for hiking\, horseback riding\, and mountain biking\, but you can still enjoy some solitude during quieter times of day. The best times to visit this trail are January through May. \nTrail Highlights: This challenge takes you near the very top of Brushy Peak and contains some fairly steep sections to enjoy along the way. The trails start with a grassy and relatively smooth incline. It then begins to pass through outcroppings of sandstone that add texture to the landscape\, and possible tripping hazards along the trail! When you reach the top of the climb\, you are rewarded with views of the rolling hills and ranchlands that surround the park. As temperatures heat up in the summer\, this trail is best when the grass – es are green during or just after the wet season. \nTrail Directions: From Laughlin Ranch Staging Area\, walk past the restrooms and information panel\, then slightly right to reach the Laughlin Ranch Loop Trail – head. After walking through the first gate\, turn left to follow Laughlin Ranch Loop Trail\, which merges Left into the Tamcan Trail. Follow for 1.11 miles\, until you reach the junction with Brushy Peak Loop Trail. Turn right onto the trail and continue for another 2.5 miles. Once you reach the junction with West Side Loop Trail\, turn left and continue for 0.93 miles\, to complete the loop. Make sure to keep right around the cattle pond\, as there are many branching\, small trails. Safely cross Laughlin Road to re-enter Laughlin Ranch Staging Area to finish your hike. \nPark Features: This parkland provides a pleasant get – away with active wildlife on the ground and in the sky. Brushy Peak is a 1\,702-foot landmark at the juncture of the San Francisco Bay Area\, the California Delta\, and the Central Valley. Many animals live in these hills and oak groves\, including meadowlarks\, coyotes\, rabbits\, and several species of hawks and reptiles.
