Hike Maisie Peak and Nob Hill at Stevens Creek CP, 3.5mi/2h, moderate hike

Let's hike this entertaining trail with lots of switchbacks, views over the both sides - the hills and the valley, variable vegetation including some aromatic eucalyptus on the path. This trail is also steep enough to give up a good workout, and two tops in the package - Maisie Peak and Nob Hill - provide scenic views to reward our efforts.

Please pay ATTENTION - this is a different hike from that we usually take at Stevens Creek. And meeting point is Sycamore Group Picnic area!

ATTN: This trail is a combination of other trails, with some intersections, so if you think you may want to separate from the group/slow down at some point, make sure you get the park's map and get known (from the leader) how to proceed on your own, otherwise a wrong turn can lead to a different part of this large park.
