Iron Horse Regional Trail – San Ramon

This paved multi-use trail stretches through San Ramon along the historic Southern Pacific Railroad corridor, established back in 1891. The flat, accessible path works perfectly for morning joggers, families with strollers, cyclists, and even equestrians in designated sections. Scenic views of Mount Diablo and the valley ridge line unfold as you travel, with convenient connections to BART stations for car-free access.

Designated as a millennium trail in 2000, it serves double duty as both recreation and transportation, linking neighborhoods to schools and parks throughout the area. Open daily from early morning through late evening—dawn patrol runners and evening commuters both claim their regular time slots on this well-maintained corridor.
