FRIDAY NIGHT HIKE @ RANCHO SAN ANTONIO, CUPERTINO.

Let's enjoy this 5.4-mile loop trail hike together again. It is near Cupertino, California, at the Rancho San Antonio County Park.

The hike is considered a moderately challenging intermediate hike. It takes an average of 2 hours to complete. This is a popular trail for hiking and running, and it can still afford us some peaceful and quiet moments during our afternoon hike. If you are not confident about doing a 5.4 mile hike in 2 hours, then this might not be a hike for you.

Besides hiking, good exercise, and pleasant conversations, we also enjoy making new friends and building good and solid relationships with old friends.
