russian ridge

In the middle of the trees, the type of sign changes to carved wood, instead of printed on aluminum sheet.

Trails are well-maintained here. Mostly hikers. Nice place to intro a friend to MTB 101.

Ever get the feeling you're being watched? This shot taken around 2:30pm when I looked up and saw this guy overviewing his domain.

There is a 40-foot wooden deck with benches facing west, just off the trail. Looks like a great educational spot. This view of Stanford Univ looks opposite.

Singletrack from Gate RR07 through weeds, rocks, etc. Entry level, MTB 101.

Another entry point to the Preserve. This one follows a nice singletrack uphill to Eagle Ridge.

The view at Hawk Ridge : Silicon Valley looking east.

One of the easiest trails immediately after entering the Preserve. Nice overview of Silicon Valley to the east, and the fog-shrouded mtns and Pacific coast to the west.

This is the real sign. Other picture is the fire road after entry. Mea Culpa.
