Gate is at 1100 feet you drop to 650 feet in 1.4 miles then follow the fire road/double track for a steep climb to summit at 2730 feet in 4.1 miles. Vistas are worth it to see most of the bay area. Just stay on Hood trail. Rustic, one set of tracks before me. It is one of those in for a penny in for a pound rides. 3180 feet of climbing in 11 miles
HWY 12 south of Santa Rosa. Los Alomos Road east 4.7 miles on narrow steep road to gate that open 8.00 a.m. weekends and holidays. Drive to parking deep in canyon. $4.00 parking. Fire road starts bottom lot gate.
