    Tips

    January 26, 2025

    Hiking

    From here, you get a great view of the forest and valley, with the Santa Clara Mountains in the background. It’s a nice spot to stop for a picnic and take in the scenery. The trail continues upward, but this spot is perfect if you’re just looking for a good viewpoint.

    Hiking

    As of June 2023, the John Nicholson trail (this segment ) is closed due to damage from the storms of the winter months. No word when it will re-open.
