Sequoia-Bayview Trail is a short, easy mountain biking route in Joaquin Miller Park, a city-managed park in California. The trail is about 1.7 miles long and has a total elevation gain of 129 feet, making it a low-effort ride for riders looking to spend a few miles on a single outing. The trail is an out-and-back, with the low point at about 1,256 feet and the high at about 1,403 feet. The route is short and gentle, so it works well as a quick ride or a warm-up before heading to other trails in the park. Late summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Berkeley show September highs around 76°F with only about one wet day in the month. That station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. Several other trails start close by. Cinderella Trail and Chaparral Trail are both within a quarter mile, and Big Trees Trail and Sunset Trail are each about 0.3 miles away.
