So what sort of expectations do you have? Great expectations? Low?
High? Middle of the road?
Cache is along the newly opened Page Mill Trail (PMT) located in
the Los Trancos Open Space Preserve (OSP). Closest parking (room
for several cars only) is available at at N37 19.986 W122 10.538.
There is a lot more parking available in the main Los Trancos
parking lot at N37 19.563 W122.10.787.
The recent opening of the PMT created a trail connection between
Palo Alto’s Foothills Park and Los Trancos Open Space Preserve.
Building the PMT had been a goal of the Palo Alto District for over
20 years. This regional connection complimented recent changes in
Foothills Park policy that now allows non-Palo Alto residents to
access the Park from specific, connecting regional trails. The
trail opening was a key connection in the Bay to Ridge Trail,
allowing hikers to travel from Pearson-Arastradero Preserve
(adjacent to Interstate 280 in Los Altos Hills/Palo Alto) through
Foothills Park and Los Trancos Open Space Preserve and into the
Skyline area trail system.
Los Trancos OSP is open a half an hour before sunset until a
half an hour after sunset. Please note that Foothills Park is open
8 a.m. to sunset only. Please only cache during park hours.
