On another one of my visits to San Jose, this was a hike in Sanborn County Park, just outside of Saratoga. Amber and I made a good 4.5 mile loop out of the main parking lot, using mostly the Sanborn Trail and the San Andreas Trail. No summits, no waterfalls, just a nice walk in the woods. This would be a decent one any time, even on a hot day, due to plenty of tree coverage. There were so many fantastic trees, in fact, that I decided to climb one! We had a look at the camp sites, for future reference. At one point we did gain enough elevation to see out across the Santa Clara Valley, through the trees. Two hours round trip, then it was time for dinner and a movie back at the old homestead.
