This trailhead is an excellent staging area centrally located within the Park, making it a great starting or resting point for multiple hike variations. There is plenty of parking, restrooms and drinking water. The Sycamore Trail is closed temporarily due to a landslide, so check the Park's website for updates. The Cuesta Trail is an excellent alternative if you plan to hike the Ridge View Trail loop.

Restrooms, water, and shade. Good starting or rest point, near the middle of the park, almost all trails lead down to this area.

For the Rocky Ridge trail hike, I suggest to have a hat, hiking poles, sun-glasses and of course water. Most of the trail is without any shade. Depends on the season, some portions of the trail could be muddy.

Park the car in the parking lot at the end of Bollinger Canyon Road. If parking lot is full you can park along the road. This is the staging area and the start and end of our hike is here.

Restrooms are available only at this place.

To start the Rocky Ridge Trail, go to the north-west corner of the parking lot (north of the restrooms) and start going up on the paved road. Note that most of the climb is this segment, but afterwards the trail is pretty easy. No shade on Rocky Ridge, some shade on Elderberry.
