Trail Notes:

The Brushy Peak Loop Trail was recently opened and provides a nice hike approaching Brushy Peak. The hike is about 5 miles with approx 700 feet of elevation gain. Restroom but no water at parking area. Dogs OK but must be on-leash at all times.

Trailhead Directions:

Take 580 Fwy eastbound to Vasco Road north exit. Turn left and pass over 580 Fwy to Northfront Road (traffic light). Turn right onto Northfront Road. From East Contra Costa County, drive south on Vasco Road. At the traffic light just before 580 Fwy, turn left onto Northfront Road. On Northfront Road drive for about 3/4 mile to Laughlin Road (stop sign). Turn left onto Laughlin Road and drive to the end of the road, about two miles. The last part of the road is narrow, so use caution. From East Contra Costa County, drive south on Vasco Road. At the traffic light just before Interstate 580, turn left onto Northfront Road. In less than a mile, turn left again onto Laughlin Road. The park's staging area is two miles ahead, at the end of the road.
