Steven's Creek County Park Loop

** IMPORTANT! **

**PLEASE READ ALL INFORMATION SO THAT YOU ARE ADEQUATELY PREPARED AND COMFORTABLE WITH THE STATED PACE AND LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY**

Let's take advantage of the slightly cooler temperatures next week - high 50s to mid-70s, mostly sunny - and hike the Table Mountain via Long Ridge trail at Stevens Creek County Park.

This will be exploratory for me as I have not hiked this specific route. We will hike the route clockwise as opposed to counterclockwise as it is presented on AllTrails. Expect mix of shady and open areas. Reportedly can be a bit buggy. Lovely views. Our route:

Length: 10 miles Elevation gain: 1909 ft Time: 4-5 hours
Effort: challenging (see Photo below) Route type: loop
Hiking pace: 2.5 - 2.8mph

We'll start our hike promptly at 9.

Bring water (minimum 2 liters), snacks, tick/poison oak/bug protection, hiking shoes with good tread, any anticipated first aid needs and your love for adventure!

**Safety: Please keep in mind that you always hike at your own risk and you are ultimately responsible for your own safety.**
