location: San Jose, California distance: 3.80 mi. | created by: Tags: dirt roads, grass, Hilly, moderate climb, Mountains, Park, Quiet, Rocky, Rolling Hills, Scenic, Trail, Very Hilly description: Always an awesome jog!..tho I'm partial to this place, it's my favorite area. I grew up hiking and exploring these hills. As you can see by the trail profile, it's steeper on the way down. I always perfer this way since the Rocky Ridge Trail is, well, uh ROCKY, and you do some high knee rock hoppin, so it's always better if you're gonna stumble and fall, to fall upslope instead of downslope, that way you won't roll downhill.Another reason i perfer this direction is because on the way down, that north wind hits you right in the face and you get that awesome view of the valley..Depending on the time of year..the winds are howling up there..it's a great place to go when a storm is blownin in! You can see way past Moffett field when it's clear enough! P,G&E were working on the Power Lines all thru September 07 around this area, so I started going other places View | Print | Bookmark | Write a Story | Tell-A-Friend |

The Ohlone trail going this direction is downhill and since they've allowed Mtn. Bikers on it, parts of the trail are narrow, rutted and U shaped. Always be alert of bikes coming up behind you. One nice aspect of coming back up the hill on the Mine Trail this way is the view of the hills above Calero; especially if you've also run the trails at Calero View | Print | Bookmark | Write a Story | Tell-A-Friend |

location: San Jose, California distance: 7.75 mi. | created by: Tags: dirt roads, grass, Lake, Mountains, Park, Quiet, Rolling Hills, Rolling to flat, Scenic, some trail, Trail description: A very nice senic "out and back" jog. To me, this ridge line view is the finest part of the park! I've never been to Provedincia Pond .I didn't go all the way down to the pond, since I had this thought about Mountain Lions and water sources about a quarter mi. away.. Always trust the mileage on the Park Maps over the mileage on the Google maps, which exagerate just a bit. Sorry about the herky-jerky line job at the end the computer was doin the hiccups..I'll fix it later..but the Park map says it's 7.4 mi.. View | Print | Bookmark | Write a Story | Tell-A-Friend |
