Carquinez Scenic Drive is closed to cars since landslides caused damage in the 1980s. The former road is a paved park trail in the Carquinez Regional Shoreline Reserve to the east, and a rebuilt excellent paved bike path to the west of the oil dock.

Back of John Muir’s house you take a short 100 yd paved trail before the tunnel make a right the first 100 ft can be very rutted walking bike up to fence is advised. Then you get a magnificent ride up hill and soon you are up on top with great vista of the bay from Benicia to Suisun and Mt Diablo. Then it’s off to down hill to George Miller trail to port costa the brick factory. The views going back to Franklin canyon/John Muir house are just as good. Lots of Cows bring water 1-1/2- 2 Hr on an Ebike Bosch motor.
