This is a magical, wonderful place to hike. The labyrinths are a treasure ... go, pack a sandwich, wear sensible shoes, and see what you can discover...
The hike is just challenging enough to be rewarding, and gets you up high in the Oakland hills. Near the top, down in a canyon, is a simple labyrinth that can turn the hike into a meditative experience.
Tons of frogs and newt polliwogs. You hike out the left side of the roundtop trail, connect to the Quarry trail and then the pond trail. Leash your dog before you get to the pond - they want to protect the newts. There is a picnic table at the end of the trail and a nice view. A bit of road noise from Highway 24 - but otherwise a great place.
It took two hikes to find the Labyrinth but it was worth it..
Just to spot it from the hill above makes you feel like you are in a different world.

Views weren't amazing, I've seen better by far. Trail is very dry and almost paved, I went off the trail just to make it a bit more interesting.
