Description

For visitors who want to enjoy a wilderness trek into Silicon Valley's foothills--or those who just want to have water fun on an immense reservoir--Calero County Park is a great place to spend a day. The trails vary in grades and difficulty, and many of them are fairly rugged paths involving steep climbs. But the view from the top is worth it because of the surrounding landscape. Bring a camera for some great photos--especially in the springtime when the wildflowers are at full color. And if you want to rent a horse or two for a ride, stables are available at the southern end of the park.
