Ridge Trail, Peters Creek, and Canyon Trail Loop

Some of the best hiking in the San Francisco Bay Area can be found through this 15-mile loop. The route takes in the forests of oak and Douglas fir and the views from the Santa Cruz Mountains. The best thing that can happen after you park the car and set out on foot is the hike. There are four parks in this trek: long ridge open space preserve, Upper Stevens Creek county park, Monte Bello regional open space preserve and another park.
