Spanish Trail is a short, easy mountain biking route in California, about 0.7 miles from the town of Tiburon. The climb is a low one, with an elevation gain of 27 feet over a round trip of about 1.2 miles, and the trail is an out-and-back. The trail sits at a low point of about 147 feet, rising to a high of about 185 feet. Because it is so short and flat, it makes a quick stop for a ride close to town. Fall is the warmest stretch, with typical highs around 73 to 75°F and lows in the mid-50s, based on averages from a nearby weather station in Richmond. Winter runs cooler, with typical highs in the upper 50s. Nearby options include the Miwok Trail and Dias Ridge Trail for more biking, the Greenbrae Boardwalk for a hike, and the Aquatic Park Cove at Black Point for fishing.
