Beautiful trail, the vista points have a great view of downtown San Jose!
Seems to be between 5-6 miles long. I'd say it's an easy level hike. Very mellow climb. Chill, green surroundings. Mix of shade and exposed. View was just ok. Trail was easy to navigate and varied in wide/narrow parts. Decent amount of human traffic. Went counter-clockwise to get the climb done first, then it was a stroll after. Parking lot only has like 8 spots, but plenty of street parking. Bathroom is clean with soap and paper towels. No cell signal at parking lot but is available for most of the hike
Great hike with great views! Not too difficult of a hike with only minimal uphill. Mostly shaded which was really nice. Definitely recommend!
We hiked this park last week and it was a nice hike. Shaded for the most part and some uphill towards the last mile or so. We parked at Madrone Picnic Area instead of Stevens Creek Tony Look Trail Head because they had an actual parking lot and restrooms. It was like a 2 min drive apart. I liked that it was dog friendly and not too crowded for the majority part of the hike until we hiked close to some entrances. The only thing that I did not like was all the ticks that were found on our dog :( so please check your dog and monitor their coat/skin after the hike. There were a lot of ticks on her. Overall, I would go back but won’t bring my dog again and maybe try a different trail.
Much easier to park at the Madrone Picnic Area, where the route passes anyway, and there is an actual lot. This was a nice hike with varied terrain, although way too many unmasked people during COVID (at a time when cases in Santa Clara County are exploding!). We extended the loop a bit (see my recording) to make it a bit longer (7.8 miles). Lots of switchbacks instead of steep ups and downs, which made for a pleasant and relaxing hike. Muddy in spots (in December).
