Be sure to bring the essentials to beat the heat in summer. Equestrians are not permitted on the Sycamore Trail and should not go on Devil’s Hole Trail; try a detour on Cuesta or Rocky Ridge View Trails back to the staging area when you reach this point of the route. \nFrom the staging area on Bollinger Canyon Rd.\, begin the Elderberry Trail by going through the nearby gate; follow Elderberry Trail and turn right\, following uphill at Corral Camp for a steep but pleasant climb through woodland to ridge. Make a sharp right onto Rocky Ridge View Trail and climb about 1/3 mile more to an elevation of 1\,893 feet; pay attention to rock formations on the ridge\, which contain remnants of prehistoric sea life; look for markers here as you hike along the Alameda and Contra Costa county line. Veer left onto Devil’s Hole Trail and descend 700 feet; look for the wind cave to the left off the trail and enjoy wildflowers in the spring. After the descent but before the creek crossing\, look for Sycamore Trail on your right\, though the signpost is easy to miss; make the beautiful-yet-strenuous climb on this rocky trail through chaparral and unique rock formations. Make a left on Rocky Ridge View Trail and continue for 0.75 miles; then make a sharp right and continue about 0.8 miles back to the parking lot.
