Interactive Trail Map
Project Description:
From www.mc2ct.org: The Mokelumne Coast to Crest Trail (MCCT) will be a scenic, 300-mile non-motorized, multi-use trail extending from the Pacific Ocean near San Francisco Bay to the crest of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Users, including hikers, bikers and equestrians, will experience diverse outdoor settings as they traverse the width of the state, including the urban greenbelt along the San Francisco Bay, the protected open space and parkland of the East Bay, the rural landscape of the San Joaquin River Delta and Mother Lode Country, and the forested slopes along the Mokelumne River Canyon and High Sierra. Martinez Shoreline Regional Park in western Contra Costa County and the Pacific Crest Trail at Ebbetts Pass in the High Sierra form the western and eastern anchor points.
The planning area for the trail embraces a wide cross-section of Northern California from San Francisco Bay to the Sierra Nevada just south of Lake Tahoe. The trail will pass through the cities of Martinez, Concord, Pittsburg, Antioch, and Stockton, as well as Alpine, Amador, Calaveras, Contra Costa, El Dorado and San Joaquin counties. Generally following the route of the Mokelumne Aqueduct and the North Fork of the Mokelumne River, the trail crosses public lands under diverse jurisdictions, including various state and federal agencies, public utility and railroad corridors, local and regional parks, as well as some parcels of private property.
