Los Gatos Creek Trail: Bay Area Running/Biking Route

🏞️ Los Gatos Creek Trail is a beautiful running and biking route in the Bay Area. 🚴‍♀️ Starting from Campbell Park, you'll be treated to a scenic view of the creek throughout your journey. Here's what you can expect: 🌳 Shade: The first 2 miles of the trail have limited shade, but don't worry, it gradually gets better as you go along. 💦 Water Points: The trail is equipped with several water points, so you can stay hydrated without carrying a water bottle. How convenient! 🏃 Distance: I ran 9 miles round trip and still didn't reach the end! It's a long one, folks. So, if you're up for a challenge, this trail won't disappoint. ⛰️ Difficulty: The trail is mostly flat, with a slight incline upstream. That means the return trip will be slightly downhill, giving your legs a break. 🅿️ Parking: Be prepared for limited parking spaces at the park's parking lot, especially on weekend mornings. You might have to get creative with street parking. So, grab your running shoes or hop on your bike and enjoy the picturesque Los Gatos Creek Trail. It's the perfect spot for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers. 🌞🏃‍♀️🌲 #LosGatos #BayArea #Running #Biking #OutdoorExercise #NatureTrail #ScenicViews #StayHydrated #EnjoyTheOutdoors #GetFit
