The Niles Canyon Railway is a heritage railway that operates in Sunol, California, USA. The railway runs through scenic Niles Canyon, which is located between Sunol and the town of Niles in Fremont, California. The railway is operated by the Pacific Locomotive Association, a non-profit organization that is dedicated to the preservation of historic railway equipment.
Little Yosemite in Sunol is a scenic hike offering breathtaking oak lined canyon views and dramatic waterfalls. It's a short 2 miles upstream from the visitors center and is open 8am to dusk all year long. There are camping options available as well.
Bedrock mortars used by Native Americans for pounding acorns that were found in the area are reminders of Sunol's first inhabitants. For the past century, however, the land known today as Sunol Regional Wilderness was used almost exclusively as ranch land.
