The Iron Horse Regional Trail is one of the Bay Area's best-kept secrets. This 32-mile bike and pedestrian path runs along a former Southern Pacific rail line from Concord to Pleasanton, passing through six parks and five downtowns along the way.

Decades before the High Line, this epic Bay Area bike trail was born from a former railroad track.
