The Nimitz Trail, also known as Nimitz Way, is one of Berkeley's most popular trails and a great route that will link you to many fun cycling circuits in the area. It runs along San Pablo Ridge, providing excellent views of the surrounding landscape. Aside from some minor hills to descend/climb, the trail is relatively flat and easy to navigate. On weekends, the Inspiration Point parking lot and Wildcat Road can fill up quickly for those visiting the Nike Missile Site, so consider riding during the week for a quieter experience and less foot traffic.
