Pichetti Ranch to Maise's Peak w/Dish n Dash

This hike will start at the Pichetti Ranch Winery and cross over the road and into Stevens Creek Park and up to Maise's peak for a valley view. A total of 7.1 miles and 1414' Elevation gain across two hills. The Weather forecast says "just perfect" as usual. About 50/50 shaded tho so you'll still want to bring that sun protection. The usual tick and poison oak precautions apply. There is a section on the trail where you may hear small arms fire. Do not be alarmed or try to return fire, we will not be in Eastern Ukraine, just the nearby gun range. But if your nerves become tattered, you can hit the tasting room at Pichetti and relax with some red wine. Limited parking so highly recommend carpooling:

You might ask "Does a perfect day end at noon? Because that would just be a perfect morning." That is why we will continue the post hike revelry at Dish 'N Dash at 20750 Stevens Creek Blvd, Cupertino, CA 95014. Everyone orders at the counter here so pays separately. We will not have a reserved table so we will need to grab tables outside when we arrive.
