Sunset Trail is a short, easy mountain biking route in Joaquin Miller Park, a city-managed park in California. The trail is about 0.15 miles long, and it rises from 1,179 feet to 1,268 feet, a climb of about 90 feet, making it a quick ride for a warm-up or a break between longer outings. 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, and temperatures at the trail run cooler than those figures because the station sits roughly 960 feet lower. Big Trees Trail, another mountain biking route, lies about 0.2 miles away, and the Dunn Trail and Golden Spike Trail are hiking options within half a mile. Climbers can find Grizzly Peak Boulders about 6 miles off.
