Quarry Trail is a short, easy mountain biking route in Tilden Regional Park, a regional park in California managed by a regional agency. The trail is an out-and-back that covers about 2.4 miles, with a low point of 1,022 feet and a high of 1,182 feet, so the one-way climb is about 198 feet. It sits within the park's network of trails, and the nearest town is Berkeley, about 2 miles away. The most comfortable months for a ride are late spring through early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Berkeley show highs around 70°F in May and 76°F in September, with only a few wet days in summer. That station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. Dogs are allowed, which makes it a good choice for riders bringing a pet along. The trail is close to several other options. Seaview Trail is just 0.2 miles away, and Curran Trail and Meadows Canyon Trail are each about 0.3 miles off. Climbers can head to Remillard Park, roughly 0.8 miles away.
