3100 Calaveras Rd
Milpitas, CA 95035
Hiking Date : 10/26/2013 (Saturday)
Time: 1:30pm to 5:30pm
秋高氣爽, 最宜登山. 今次健行,目標是位於Milpitas 市的 Ed Levin County Park 內的Monument Peak.
  Monument Peak 標高 2,595呎. 我們從公園內的Sandy Wool Lake 出發,全程約7.8哩, 登高約2,000呎. 因山徑婉延而上,所以坡度並不太斗峭, 難度適中.
We will meet at 1:15pm and start our hike at 1:30pm.
Meeting Place: the parking lot in Sandy Wool Lake area inside the Ed Levin County Park, Milpitas, CA 
 
This hike is from Sandy Wool Lake area in Ed Levin Park to Monument Peak summit via the Monument Peak Trail, and is great for hiking.  The difficulty rating of this trail is moderate.
To ascend, we will take the Tularcitos Trail, Agua Caliente Trail and Monument Peak Trail.  To descend, retrace our steps of Monument Peak Trail , and take theAgua Caliente Trail to the Calera Creek Trail, then to Sandy Wool Lake.  There are 7.7 miles for this loop.
If you do not want to hike to the peak, you can continue Agua Caliente Trail instead of turning right to Monument Peak Trail and directly go to Calera Creek Trail, then back to Sandy Wool Lake.  This short loop is about 3.4 miles.
