Momentum: Lets move! Sycamore Valley 4.7 miles

Let’s hit the rolling hills of Sycamore Valley Regional Open Space for a 4.7-mile hike with wide-open views of Mount Diablo, Las Trampas, and all the way to Livermore. ☀️ This one brings the sunshine and the scenery.

Worried about pace? Don’t be! This is a great beginner Momemtum hike! This trail is front-loaded—all the incline is in the first 15 minutes. After that, it’s smooth sailing. We usually hang out at the trailhead for a bit to chat, but if you're feeling unsure, you can skip the convo and start hiking—we’ll regroup at the bench at the top. It’s a super straightforward trail, and there’s always someone happy to join you for the climb. 💪

Also—this one’s a figure-8 loop, so if you need to bail early, it’s easy to shorten to a mellow 2-mile option.
