Participation Required
From Fremont, drive north on I-680 and exit at Calaveras Road (near the
town of Sunol.)
Turn right at the exit onto Calaveras Road and proceed about
four miles to a left turn onto Geary Road, which leads directly into the park.
(If you find yourself driving uphill on a narrow winding road you’ve missed the
Geary Road turnoff.)
To reach the visitor center take the first left after the park
entrance.
From the Oakland-Berkeley
area, drive east on I-580 to the junction with I-680. Take I-680 south and exit
at Calaveras Road/Highway 84 just south of the Sunol exit.
At the bottom of the
exit, turn left onto Calaveras Road and proceed as noted above.
