Bay Area Ridge Trail: Sanborn County Park: John Nicholas Trail

Overview

Opened in 2014, this well-designed singletrack wooded trail is a popular mountain biking route with a significant ascent or descent. Lake County Reservoir provides a scenic resting spot. Parking at the ends of both connector trails is extremely limited, so consider doing this route as a round-trip from the Sunnyvale Mountain staging area.<br><br>This trail description is excerpted from the 2019 Bay Area Ridge Trail Guidebook.
