Las Trampas Madrone Loop

Dogs Unknown

E-Bikes Unknown

• Start at Alamo Starbucks/Ace Hardware parking lot and proceed up Las Trampas Road.
• At about 1.25 miles you'll run into a gate for a gated community. Go around the gate, the EBRPD has an easement for hikers and bikers to use the private road to access the park.
• At about 1.75 miles take the first right (there is a small EBRPD sign) and go about 100 ft to get to the dirt access road.
• Proceed onto the fire road. After a steep downhill there is a very steep uphill (we call it "The Elevator").
• Continue climbing, pass another gate (the actual entrance to the park), continue climbing until you tee into the Madrone trail.
• Go left to follow the Madrone.
• The Madrone weaves in and out of ridges and canyons at about 1000ft elevation. Most of the trail is in shade but when the trees go away the views are great to the East.
• There is a really nice grove of Madrone trees at about 4 miles.
  
• At about 4.5 miles there is a fire road down to South Ave. There is no legal exit for bikes from this road. Continue straight for another mile or so and take the next left on the Camille Ave Access to Las Trampas Regional Park
• Exit on Camille Ave
• Take the Iron Horse Trail back to the start
