Details
Let's hike a moderate on elevation loop trail that has a nice views of the Guadalupe Reservoir, the South of San Jose and gorgeous rolling hills.
Trail's summary:
- Length: 5.5 mi, moderate loop,
- Elevation gain: 961 ft.
- Not much shade.
ATTN: This trail is a combination of four trails, with many intersections, so if you think you may want to separate from the group/slow down at some point, make sure you get the parks's map and get known (from the leader) on how to proceed on your own, otherwise a wrong turn can lead to a different part of this large park.
Please, bring:
- layered cloths,
- shoes appropriate for a unpaved trail,
- hat,
- water,
- sunglasses.
- sunscreen.
