Geography:

The Sunol Wilderness is located near Pleasanton, CA, on the southeastern side of San Francisco Bay. Under the East Bay Regional Park District's multi-use land management policy, cattle continue to gaze in the 6,859-acre wilderness.

Recreation:

Activities in the Sunol Wilderness include hiking, horseback riding, walking, backpack camping, and picnicking. Indian Joe Cave Rocks provides sport and challenge to rock climbers. Naturalists lead walks, hikes, trail rides, camping trips, and backpacking adventures, and other outings. Visit the Old Green Barn Visitor Center for information about these programs and the self-guided Indian Joe Nature Trail. The Ohlone Wilderness Trail is a popular hiking destination; permits are available by phone, internet or at the Sunol Visitor Center (call ahead or check website for open hours).
