George Miller Regional Bike Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Carquinez Scenic Drive is closed to cars since landslides caused damage in the 1980s. The former road is a paved park trail in the Carquinez Regional Shoreline Reserve to the east, and a rebuilt excellent paved bike path to the west of the oil dock.

Alhambra Cemetery and the adjacent St. Catherine Catholic Cemetery sit quietly on the hillside above Martinez, offering views of the Carquinez Strait and a glimpse into Contra Costa County’s early history. These historic burial grounds date back to the 1800s and include graves of pioneers, veterans, and local families.

Historic Contra Costa County Courthouse

Highlight • Historical Site

In 1966, most of the courts' offices moved into the Hall of Records (right), which was completed in 1933 and continues to serve as the county's courthouse. The old Contra Costa County Courthouse (left) remains in use as the county's Finance Building. Both buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Crockett World War I Memorial Hall, built in 1925 in Crockett, California, honors local soldiers who served in WWI—many of them workers from the nearby C&H Sugar refinery. Designed in Mission Revival style, the hall features stucco walls and red-tile roofing, typical of early 20th-century California. Today, it stands as a preserved local landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A quick stop here offers a glimpse into Crockett’s civic pride and wartime remembrance.
