Pulgas Ridge Open Space Preserve - (CA)

5 /5 Zsuzsanna Sziveri: A quite easy hike, 1.5- 2 hrs are enough to complete the loop, dog friendly, nice views, free parking, toilet by the entrance.

4 /5 Dru Looks: This is a good hike for an early morning hike. We took the paved road going up since were not familiar with the trails. It was easy. Im not sure I would be hiking alone if you are concern of dogs being unleashed. We took the trail going back to the parking lot and it has steep sections of incline but its all manageable and it would be a good work out going up.

5 /5 Ray Alan: Such a great hike all about 4 miles around the loop. Definitely recommend taking water on a warm day and heading counter clockwise on the trail that way the accent is shaded and the walk down is in the sun. Great views from the top. Saw lots of people running by and perfect for exercise. Saw a lost key near the restroom on the fence.

5 /5 Jayasimha Nuggehalli: Great place for hiking, specially with dogs. There is a large off-leash area. But make sure your dogs are on leash, where there is a posted sign. We ended up getting a ticket, just because we removed leash to take pictures, 10 meters from the off-leash area. We didnt realize park security is so strict, instead of letting us go with a warning, issued us a ticket, even though no body was around. Other than this unpleasant experience, great place to walk your dogs and also hike.

5 /5 Theo Wiggin: So beautiful, and not crowded at all! Start of the trail is shady, but everything else is sunny. A lot of it is paved, but the very beginning is not. They have bathrooms at the beginning, and a big map.
