Description
EveryTrail.com's stevelabo describes it best:

"Shell Ridge is the City of Walnut Creek's largest open space unit, with

trails for biking, hiking and riding through oak woodlands and grassland

savannah on the lower flanks of Mount Diablo. Shell Ridge gets its name

from the marine fossils left behind when the ocean waters that once

covered the area receded.



Approximately 31 miles of hiking, biking and equestrian trails. Bikes are

permitted only on paved and unpaved roads over eight feet in width.

Within Shell Ridges is the Borges Ranch, a site on the National Register of

Historic Places. A working cattle ranch complete with farm animals, it

provides a glimpse at life a century ago."
