Canyon

Canyon is tiny, unincorporated, and folded into the redwoods between Moraga and the Oakland hills. The post office and the narrow road are the civic infrastructure.

Living here is a commitment to shade, a winding drive, and a community that is small on purpose. You do not have a grocery story. You have trees. Moraga and Oakland are how you rejoin the rest of the East Bay.

It is also a beautiful place to know about even if you never live there. The road itself is part of the local geography of the hills.
