Sunset Trail is a short, easy mountain biking route in Joaquin Miller Park, a city-managed park in California. The trail is an out-and-back that covers about 1.1 miles, with a low point of 957 feet and a high of 1022 feet, so the one-way climb is about 46 feet. It's a low-effort ride, and the park's city land makes it an easy stop for a quick outing. 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. Several other routes start close by. Bishops Walk is about 0.2 miles away and Castle Park Trail about 0.3 miles. The Sinawik Trail, another mountain biking route, is about 0.4 miles off. For climbing, Grizzly Peak Boulders lies about 5.3 miles away.
