MOUNTAIN BIKING: Monte Bello Open Space

← CA MATADERO CREEK A PALO ALTO CA MATADERO CREEK A PALO ALTO CA Single Tracks →

Description

Good variety of trails for the beginner/intermediate mountain biker. There are more trails
than the following loop described, just pick up a map at the trailhead/parking lot. Start off
on the Canyon Trail fireroad and veer left onto the Bella Vista Trail for some exposed
singletrack climbing on the hillside. Pass the camp site and head towards Indian Creek trail
for a long steep downhill on a fire road. Get back on Canyon trail for a short distance and
head towards White Oak trail for some creek-side singletrack through the woods. Out of the
woods, the climb continues on singletrack and can be tortuous on a hot summer day. At the
top, take a right at the intersection towards the parking lot.

Directions

Go north on 280 from San Jose, exit Page Mill Rd. Turn left, go about 7 miles into the hills <br />and there will be a parking lot on the left for Monte Bello Open Space. If you get to Skyline <br />Blvd, you have gone at least a mile too far.
