Sanborn County Park is a lushly wooded park with nearly 4,000 acres of mixed evergreen forests nestled in the Santa Cruz mountains between the town of Saratoga and Skyline Boulevard.

The hike will climb Peterson Memorial and Sanborn trail (some steep parts) and then take Skyline trail to Indian Rock. On the way down we will take San Andreas trail.

Go through the village of Saratoga on Big Basin Avenue and continue up highway 9 (same road, 3 different names). Take a left on Sanborn Road. Drive approximately a mile or two and come to the park entrance on the right hand side. Immediately after you pass the entry kiosk, turn left and up a slight rise to a parking area. County park entry fee required.
