Rancho San Antonio hike and brunch

Selected By: Vishal

Lets go for a hike in this gem of a place in the south bay. It has some really scenic views.
Hiking is no fun without a hearty brunch. Lets mingle over some pancakes!!
We will meet at 9:45 am at the lower parking lot near the restrooms and leave no later than 10:00 am.
I'll try to be there by 9.

The trails offer a wide variety of scenery:
one point you are on flat open terrain, the next you are on an uphill climb through dense forest!

If the parking lot might be full (yes, even at 9 am ... ),
the trick is to park at a parallel road which is a residential area with lots of street parking.
Its a small walk to the park, just cross over and walk on the bike path to lower ground.

The parallel road is at 23500 Oak Valley Road, Cupertino, CA

Brunch:
Original Pancake House - 420 South San Antonio Road, Los Altos, CA

(The actual parking lot is at: 22500 Cristo Rey Drive, Cupertino, CA)

I am a little confused... the plan is to start the hike by 10am but be back in time for brunch? I mean that sounds like a really short hike... some more details would be helpful. thx

it is 5.5 miles, should take out about 3 hours; lets call it a late lunch instead of a brunch :). i recommend everyone carry a small bottle (10oz) of water
