Description
This is the most iconic loop in Edgewood Park and Nature Preserve, particularly famous for its spectacular spring wildflowers in the serpentine grasslands. The trail winds through lush oak woodlands and open meadows, featuring the Serpentine Trail and providing sweeping views of the San Francisco Bay and Crystal Springs Reservoir.
During the spring months (usually March through May), the hills come alive with goldfields, tidytips, and owl's clover. It's an excellent choice for a quick morning hike or a sunset stroll.

Wildflowers are at their peak right now! The Serpentine Trail section is absolutely glowing with goldfields. Trails are dry and well-maintained.
✓ Good conditionsGreat views of the bay today. A bit windy on the ridge. Saw several deer near the oak grove. Parking was busy but found a spot near the center.
