Crockett is home to the California and Hawaiian Sugar Company refinery, which, at one time, employed 95% of Crockett residents. The town is nestled between the Carquinez Strait and steep coastal hills, boasting a charming downtown area that offers several independent restaurants, bars, and shops.

Soaring Eagle Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This trail is essentially the singletrack alternate to Sky Trail (a fire road) for getting to the trails in the southeastern half of the park. It meanders along, following the edge of the flattish area atop this ridge. Your traversal in the first half of the ride will be in the "climbing" direction of this trail, but it's not much of a climb and the trail alternates between long, flat sections and brief, moderate climbs (with the grade never exceeding 10%). The trail has virtually zero tree cover and the views to the west, south, and east along the way are top notch, and they're even better during your return over it. Along with Two Peaks Trail, Soaring Eagle is actually one of the singletrack trails in the park that predates the flow trails and it's been around for years. To be honest, if these older trails were still the only available singletrack here, a 13-mile ride here that included these to result in a singletrack percentage for the ride of something like 30% would have qualified as "not too shabby for an East Bay park" anyway.

Edwards Loop Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Most of this trail is in the form of doubletrack, and even includes a portion where only one half of the doubletrack is in common use, effectively making it singletrack. Still, I've qualified this conservatively as a "fire road" when coming up with the stats you see above.

Just as a serious climb begins on Edwards Loop Trail, you turn onto the singletrack portion of this trail and perform most of the elevation gain toward Cummings Skyway on this switchbacking singletrack climb. This is a significant climb with grades ranging between 10% and 15%, but nothing over the top. And the best part of it is that this tree-covered singletrack segment turns out to be a lot of fun to descend on the way back and, therefore, a very nice way to end your ride.
