This is a nice little hike for winding down from the week. Figure about 4-5 miles of mostly wooded (as in shady) trails, with moderate hills, but alas no time for a picnic break, as the days aren't quite long enough this month. Bring water, layers, and comfortable hiking shoes. Rain cancels. Parking at the trailhead is quite limited! Meet at carpool point #6.
Directions to LPSS carpool point #6 (Page Mill / 280 Park 'N Ride): Exit 280 onto Page Mill Road west (Los Altos Hills) in Palo Alto. The lot is next to the freeway. If looking for overflow parking, beware of the "No Parking" signs along Arastradero. Map: http://tinyurl.com/2tq9rk
