The Sulphur Springs Mountain Summit Trail at the Hiddenbrooke Open Space in Vallejo, California is an easy 0.4-mile out-and-back trail that leads from the Hiddenbrooke Trail up to the summit of Sulphur Springs Mountain and features beautiful views.

This short and easy trail is not the easiest trail to reach as hikers will first need to hike in on the Hiddenbrooke Trail to reach this one. The hike up to Sulphur Springs Mountain is well worth it as the views on the way up are just as good as the views from the summit.

From the summit, you'll get views of the San Pablo Bay and Mount Tamalpais on clear days. To the east, you'll get a neat view of the Hiddenbrooke neighborhood which is filled with rows upon rows of copy/paste houses. Hikers should be aware that sometimes clouds will roll in unexpectedly, so bringing an extra layer of clothing just in case.

Parking
Hikers can find parking along the side of the road at the coordinates provided. The road itself has a closed gate and does not allow thru-traffic. The road has many houses near the parking area, so be mindful.

Trailhead
This trailhead is found next to the parking area and next to the road gate. There's some signage and some cut grass that shows where the trail follows uphill; however, it's not easy to spot right away.

Pets
Dogs are allowed if leashed and their waste must be carried out by the hiker. It's also best to keep dogs on leash as this open space will often have cows roaming the hillsides.

Before you leave...

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.

It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.

Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉

Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
