Staying In The Loop
Our Mission
Moraga Citizens Network is a grassroots organization dedicated to encouraging participation in the life of Moraga in these ways:
First, we provide or direct members to non-partisan, factual information on current issues.
Secondly, we assist the town staff in publicizing public meetings and town-sponsored events when needed.
Finally, Moraga Citizens Network announces many recreational, educational, and fund raising events offered in Moraga by the Town's service organizations, library, non-profit organizations, and Saint Mary's College - all towards the end of promoting participation in the Moraga community.
Our primary tool is a bi-monthly e-bulletin called The MCN Link. Sign up Here.

JULY IN MORAGA
|
Moraga is blessed with an abundance of open spaces complete with creeks, trees, valleys, hills, bridges, and of course, trails. Summer naturally pulls us outside to explore and exercise. Here is a sampling of trails right here in our town.
SOME HIKING TRAILS IN MORAGA Starting Point - Valle Vista Staging Area - Canyon Road  Redwood Trail runs through a beautiful redwood forest with ferns in the deeply shaded areas. It crosses a street, and is the perfect hike on a hot summer day. Length: 3.4 miles of Moderate intensity Riche Trail is a .7 mile loop that is fairly flat that circles around the low lying land north of the staging area. Length: 0.7 miles of Easy intensity Rimer Creek Trail travels through flat forested areas along a creek behind Joaquin Moraga School and up the hill to link with Rocky Ridge Trail. Length: 1.3 miles of Easy intensity Starting Point - Hacienda de las Flores - Donald Drive Creek Tail - Starting from the east end of the main parking lot, walk down stairs to a woodland path that meanders along a shady trail and across little bridges. Cindy Waxman Trail - On the uphill side of the parking log, this natural trail takes you up through eucalyptus, oak, and pine trees for about a quarter of a mile. If you walk through the gate at the top, you can extend your hike by turning left, and walking up Donald Drive to the Mulholland Ridge. Starting Point - top of Donald Drive Mulholland Ridge Open Space Preserve - Leave your car below the gate to walk up a fairly steep mostly paved road. In .5 miles you’ll reach the Mulholland water tower with other trail options beyond that. The ridge is fairly high offering breathtaking views on a clear day of the Moraga Valley and the Diablo range. Destination: Lafayette Reservoir Rim Trail This rim trail is a dirt fire road that leads through brush lands and oak forests overlooking the reservoir. There are some very steep and difficult sections. Length: 4.7 miles of Challenging intensity. Campolindo Access Point - Take the path at the end of Paseo Grande up the hill to the ridge. Moraga Road at Via Granada Access Point -Take the path that starts just below this intersection to wind through the woods and behind homes towards the reservoir.
