Estrella Mountain Regional Park

Trails, wildlife observation and picnic areas offer different ways to explore the Sierra Estrella foothills. Seasonal vegetation and views across the surrounding terrain reward a visit planned around cooler conditions.

Use the county’s Vineyard Avenue arrival directions and check current entry fees, trail notices and heat conditions. The nature center has its own seasonal hours, and organized events can temporarily close the competitive track. Carry ample water, stay on permitted routes and choose a realistic distance for your group. Camping and reserved picnic facilities need separate arrangements.
