Geocache Description:

The first of several caches of different containers and difficulties along a new bike/pedestrian trail in Saratoga. This one is well-hidden. Trees and power lines may skew the coords somewhat. Parking is available along Cox Ave.

Joe’s Trail at Saratoga de Anza

The project consists of the development of a 1.6 mile bicycle and pedestrian pathway made of decomposed granite along the PG&E easement parallel to the UPRR railroad tracks, and construction of two pedestrian bridges crossing Rodeo Creek and Saratoga Creek. The project also includes a small (approximately 5 space) parking area and trail staging site with access from Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road.

The continuity of the trail was limited by two right-of-way constraints: 1) there are two adjacent private properties near Cox Avenue where PG&E does not have right-of-way, and 2) PG&E does not have right-of-way across the property owned by San Jose Water Property, which is located adjacent to the Cox Avenue County Fire Station. These right-of-way constraints split the proposed trail into two usable segments: 1) Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road to APN 345-69-2929 (0.57 miles), and 2) Saratoga Avenue to San Jose Water Company property (0.74 miles).
