Was just here yesterday in the late afternoon and stayed to watch the sun set. Was absolutely amazing and breathtaking. How in the world anyone rated this place less than a 5 is beyond me. You see a major portion of the valley from this point, staring straight at El Capitan, Half Dome, Clouds Rest, Bridalveil Falls, Sentinel Dome. A must see and even better at night. Just make sure to not have food in your car because the bears are still present.
LOVE this place. Incredible views and hikes. Some of very difficult because you enter the park at about 4,000 feet up and some of the hikes are between 7,000-10,000 feet. Just be careful of the bears because they're definitely here, and will definitely come after your food. Even if it's in the car.
Incredible views. Not a super challenging hike but it can be tough for some people. Just PLEASE be careful and stay on the right side of the rails. Luckily no one crossed over when I went there today, and the views are amazing.
Great hike. But pretty easy overall. Just be careful of the steps being wet. Some people bring a poncho, but honestly it's not necessary because it's warm enough where you will dry off pretty soon after. Lots of fun. Great views.
Hiked this trail up to Glacier Point today and the view is simply breathtaking there is other way to describe it. You get a view of the whole valley and it is incredible
Not bad at all. Good place to check out and pretty good place for beginners and people who don't hike a lot. Not a huge park compared to some of the others in the area. Was able to do most of it in about 3-4 hours.
I visited here last year during the playoffs when the Dodgers were playing in New York. Got to see some of the stadium but due to it not being used that day, a lot of it was only open for people who work there and for people taking the tour. A couple guys who worked there let my friend and I in, which was rad and we got to see the view from the top of the upper deck, and it looks like there's not a bad seat in the whole place. Definitely wanna see this place when there's a game being played here though. One of the few remaining classics.
One person wrote it might smart to add who Dom Toretto is. My question is if you don't know who he is, why would you be looking to go to this house? I've been by the house a couple times with different groups of friends and Bob's market is like a block or two down the street (Toretto's in the first movie). Cool places for what they're worth, which is a regular house and a corner deli. Btw, the garage in the movie was a prop. It's not actually there
How has no one reviewed this place? I've always thought of Antioch as a place you don't go. It's hot. It's dangerous. There's a lot of crime. But I had no idea there was a place there so incredibly beautiful. Honestly this is one of the prettiest places I have ever been. Huge green rolling hills. Flowers in full bloom. Views of everything. There is no bad trail anywhere here. Plus, if you get here during park business hours there is a visitors center which shows the history of the mines. I wish I had seen this before they closed because it looks awesome.
Pleasanton ridge is a beautiful area with so many trails to explore. There's a good amount of elevation gain with a lot of high spots to get a great view of the valley. The trails are in good shape. Came here for the first time today and will have to make a return trip because I wasn't able to cover as much as I wanted.
