There is another option I am suggesting today: the 4.7 mile &#8220;Rim Trail&#8221; that can be accessed from the main parking lot (or from a few feeders in local neighborhoods). This trail is a wide and well maintained dirt road that provides lots of heart-pumping elevation changes and several terrific viewpoints to see the reservoir, the Lafayette-Moraga and Las Trampas hills, and the vistas surrounding Mt. Diablo.  This route would definitely not be on the &#8220;walking with stroller&#8221; list. The start and end points are just a few minutes outside downtown Lafayette, so why not start or finish with a bite at one of my go-to favorite Lafayette restaurants, the Social Bird?<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery .kb-gallery-type-masonry.kb-gallery-id-_67ee60-f4{margin:-5px;}.kb-gallery-type-masonry.kb-gallery-id-_67ee60-f4 .kadence-blocks-gallery-item{padding:5px;}.kb-gallery-id-_67ee60-f4 .kadence-blocks-gallery-item .kb-gal-image-radius, .kb-gallery-id-_67ee60-f4 .kb-slide-item .kb-gal-image-radius img{border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;;}<\/style><div class=\"kb-gallery-wrap-id-_67ee60-f4 alignnone wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery\"><ul class=\"kb-gallery-ul kb-gallery-non-static kb-gallery-type-masonry kb-masonry-init kb-gallery-id-_67ee60-f4 kb-gallery-caption-style-bottom-hover kb-gallery-filter-none\" data-image-filter=\"none\" data-item-selector=\".kadence-blocks-gallery-item\" data-lightbox-caption=\"true\" data-columns-xxl=\"3\" data-columns-xl=\"3\" data-columns-md=\"3\" data-columns-sm=\"2\" data-columns-xs=\"1\" data-columns-ss=\"1\"><li class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item-inner\"><figure class=\"kb-gallery-figure kadence-blocks-gallery-item-hide-caption\"><div class=\"kb-gal-image-radius\" style=\"max-width:1024px;\"><div class=\"kb-gallery-image-contain kadence-blocks-gallery-intrinsic\" style=\"padding-bottom:75%;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dayvetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_5432.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"\" data-full-image=\"https:\/\/dayvetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_5432.jpeg\" data-light-image=\"https:\/\/dayvetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_5432.jpeg\" data-id=\"629\" class=\"wp-image-629\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dayvetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_5432.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dayvetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_5432.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dayvetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_5432.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dayvetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_5432.jpeg?resize=1536%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dayvetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_5432.jpeg?w=2016&amp;ssl=1 2016w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/figure><\/div><\/li><li class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item-inner\"><figure class=\"kb-gallery-figure kadence-blocks-gallery-item-hide-caption\"><div class=\"kb-gal-image-radius\" style=\"max-width:1024px;\"><div class=\"kb-gallery-image-contain kadence-blocks-gallery-intrinsic\" style=\"padding-bottom:70%;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dayvetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_6128.jpeg?resize=1024%2C725&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"1024\" height=\"725\" alt=\"\" data-full-image=\"https:\/\/dayvetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_6128.jpeg\" data-light-image=\"https:\/\/dayvetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_6128.jpeg\" data-id=\"630\" class=\"wp-image-630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dayvetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_6128.jpeg?resize=1024%2C725&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dayvetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_6128.jpeg?resize=300%2C213&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dayvetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_6128.jpeg?resize=768%2C544&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dayvetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_6128.jpeg?resize=1536%2C1088&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dayvetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_6128.jpeg?w=1632&amp;ssl=1 1632w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/figure><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><span style=\"color:#a31b00\" class=\"has-inline-color\">How to get there:<\/span><\/strong> The Lafayette Reservoir is part of the East Bay Municipal Utility District and they a large parking lot at 3849 Mt, Diablo Blvd, Lafayette. They have an <a href=\"https:\/\/webapps.ebmud.com\/trailmap\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/webapps.ebmud.com\/trailmap\/\">interactive trail map<\/a> you can access as well. The parking lot is just a bit North of downtown Lafayette, so most people will take the Oak Hill Rd exit off Highway 24 when coming from etc East and the Acalanes Rd Exit when coming from the West. Parking can be paid for with an all day parking fee at the booth or hourly (2 hour max) using the automated parking fee machines. Start your hike at the far West end of the parking lot and head Clockwise for a good initial walk up a hill onto the upper levels of the Rim Trail.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery .kb-gallery-type-masonry.kb-gallery-id-_553880-e1{margin:-5px;}.kb-gallery-type-masonry.kb-gallery-id-_553880-e1 .kadence-blocks-gallery-item{padding:5px;}.kb-gallery-id-_553880-e1 .kadence-blocks-gallery-item .kb-gal-image-radius, .kb-gallery-id-_553880-e1 .kb-slide-item .kb-gal-image-radius img{border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;;}<\/style><div class=\"kb-gallery-wrap-id-_553880-e1 alignnone wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery\"><ul class=\"kb-gallery-ul kb-gallery-non-static kb-gallery-type-masonry kb-masonry-init kb-gallery-id-_553880-e1 kb-gallery-caption-style-bottom-hover kb-gallery-filter-none\" data-image-filter=\"none\" data-item-selector=\".kadence-blocks-gallery-item\" data-lightbox-caption=\"true\" data-columns-xxl=\"3\" data-columns-xl=\"3\" data-columns-md=\"3\" data-columns-sm=\"2\" data-columns-xs=\"1\" data-columns-ss=\"1\"><li class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item-inner\"><figure class=\"kb-gallery-figure kadence-blocks-gallery-item-hide-caption\"><div class=\"kb-gal-image-radius\" style=\"max-width:1024px;\"><div class=\"kb-gallery-image-contain kadence-blocks-gallery-intrinsic\" style=\"padding-bottom:62%;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dayvetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/1200x0.jpg?resize=1024%2C644&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"1024\" height=\"644\" alt=\"\" data-full-image=\"https:\/\/dayvetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/1200x0.jpg\" data-light-image=\"https:\/\/dayvetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/1200x0.jpg\" data-id=\"631\" class=\"wp-image-631\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dayvetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/1200x0.jpg?resize=1024%2C644&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dayvetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/1200x0.jpg?resize=300%2C189&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dayvetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/1200x0.jpg?resize=768%2C483&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dayvetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/1200x0.jpg?resize=80%2C50&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dayvetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/1200x0.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/figure><\/div><\/li><li class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item-inner\"><figure class=\"kb-gallery-figure kadence-blocks-gallery-item-hide-caption\"><div class=\"kb-gal-image-radius\" style=\"max-width:1024px;\"><div class=\"kb-gallery-image-contain kadence-blocks-gallery-intrinsic\" style=\"padding-bottom:89%;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dayvetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_6230.jpeg?resize=1024%2C915&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"1024\" height=\"915\" alt=\"\" data-full-image=\"https:\/\/dayvetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_6230.jpeg\" data-light-image=\"https:\/\/dayvetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_6230.jpeg\" data-id=\"632\" class=\"wp-image-632\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dayvetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_6230.jpeg?resize=1024%2C915&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dayvetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_6230.jpeg?resize=300%2C268&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dayvetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_6230.jpeg?resize=768%2C686&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dayvetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_6230.jpeg?resize=1536%2C1373&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dayvetrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_6230.jpeg?w=2016&amp;ssl=1 2016w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/figure><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><span style=\"color:#a31200\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Take a Hike:<\/span><\/strong> The trails are well-marked and to stay on the Rim Trail you just don&#8217;t take any of the &#8220;spokes&#8221; that crisscross back into the center.

About half way along, you&#8217;ll come to a very steep hill that takes up to the highest point (where my fat finger is pointing) and where you&#8217;ll find a welcome bench to sit on and a marker
