About this Preserve
274 Acres | 5.2 Miles of Trails
Los Trancos Preserve is situated at about 2,000 feet and offers visitors fresh air scented with pungent bay leaves, sweet grass, and damp woods. This preserve is an ideal place to learn about earthquake geology as a major fault line splits the preserve and visitors can enjoy a 1.5-mile self-guided tour along the San Andreas Fault Trail. On a clear day, one can spot the gleaming skyscrapers of San Francisco and pick out Mt. Diablo across the bay. Visit the preserve page for detailed information about preserve use, accessibility, and amenities.
