Parked at the Harvey Manning trail head, and from there had a lovely weekday afternoon hike along Shangri-la trail, down Bear Ridge to the "fantastic erratic" and back up along Tibbets Creek and the Harvey Manning trail to the parking lot. There's a map at the trailhead you can take a picture of, and every trail intersection is well-signed. There's enough trails here you can really choose your own adventure, and while I saw about 15 people over the course of about 2.5 hours of hiking, most of them were hikers or trail runners and mostly near the trail head, so plenty of opportunity to enjoy the trail in solitude.
Trail was muddy enough I was glad to be wearing hiking boots but not so muddy as to be super problematic.
Don't miss the sign very shortly after the trail leaves the parking lot for the Viewing Point / Pergola, as it's a lovely viewpoint with picnic tables and generally views on the rest of the trail are scarce. Lovely moss-covered trees and peeks of mountains on a sunny day but generally through gaps in the trees (more on Bear Ridge than on the more interior trails).
Also, while there's no restroom at the trailhead, Radar park is just around the corner (you can see it from the trailhead parking lots) and has restrooms and a portapotty, and also some pretty interesting signs explaining about how the site used to be a military base with anti-aircraft guns. Worth checking out.
