I didn't take a set path and mostly just wandered around, but my hike started around the top right on Tavan Trail, went down to the Alhambra Creek staging area onto the Alhambra Creek Trail, up onto Spengler trail, took Old Briones Road trail to down south to Briones Crest trail, went left at a fork onto table top, back up to Spengler trail and then Blue Oak trail near the Releiz Valley Staging area, and finally up to Diablo View trail back to Tavan trail.
