Description: There are many possible routes in this park. This is an easy route.
Begin to head up the main trail passing through a cattle gate. 200 meters or so stay to the left on Harvey Bear Trail, Here you will begin a long but not so torturous climb. You will pass through a couple more cattle gates. Near the summit you will come upon the Coyote Ridge Trail marker, take a right onto the Coyote Ridge trail and continue to climb then the trail levels out giving you an opportunity to take in the beautiful views of Santa Clara Valley. Within a half mile you will come upon Willow Springs trail marker, head right going back down into the valley. You can pick up quite a bit of speed coming down so be wary of hikers and Horseback riders. Back down at the bottom you can take a cool down lap on the Martin Murphy trail before heading back to the parking lot. This is a series of trails that can be explored much deeper than this outline may suggest. One last note is that all Santa Clara County parks require a helmet.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail
reviewed by apj_ca on September 7, 2009
This is a fun training ride. It will get your heart pumping a bit and has great views of the south valley. The fire road can be a bit loose and the rangers like to sometimes hang out at the bottom so watch the downhills. Branch off on Townsprings trail and Calaveras Trail for some fun single track. Nothing technical. Just some good fun.
