Great place to enjoy some nature, it's easy to forget that you're near HWY 280. Took my 8-yr-old daughter, it was her first time to go on a hike (one that's not on asphalt or a sidewalk, anyway), she loved it and can't wait to go back!

I have hiked this trail many times and always see something new. Lots of wildlife to be seen and is beautiful in each season.
The trail mostly follows the creek which can be low enough at times to walk across the shallows or can be a raging river after heavy rains.
Lots of small cascades as well.
