What do I need to know?Mt. Wanda is not really a mountain, but a set of hills. While it is generally not a streneous hike, there is a lengthy incline at the beginning of the trail. There are a few path options as you get to the upper area, which you can see on the entrance kiosk sign. A nice hike can last around 1-2.5 hours and make you feel like you've had a good workout. However, many folks enjoy a nice, relaxed saunter, if that is your speed. ![]() ![]() Enjoy Your Park ResponsiblyInformationFor more information on park trails or the John Muir NHS:Phone: 925-228-8860 Trail Hours: Sunrise to Sunset Dog WalkingAll pets must be on leash.
