Contra Costa County

Big Canyon Preserve, located in the western part of the City of San Ramon, is part of a landscape that naturally breaks into a series of canyons and valleys of tremendous open space and scenic value as a visual backdrop to the San Ramon Valley. Big Canyon is relatively isolated and characterized by extremely steep slopes and areas of dense vegetation with special habitat value. Protected from development and set aside as a nature preserve, this scenic and natural habitat asset will enhance regional open space links, with trails providing connections to Bishop Ranch Regional Open Space and the planned Calaveras Ridge Trail corridor, which will extend from Las Trampas Regional Wilderness near the Town of Danville to the Sunol Regional Wilderness east of the City of Fremont.
