About This Route
This one stays shaded almost the whole way, crosses the creek on a footbridge, and doesn't need a long drive to get to — the kind of local trail that's easy to overlook. Most people take the easy path that is flat, paved, easy to traverse. But take a few steps off the main path and a whole new world opens up! This bike path in San Jose, CA has an accompanying dirt path that wanders to and fro along the Los Alamitos Creek.
