23 mi, 4 M, 3000 ft; Stevens Canyon Trails,Montebello Regional Park

Let's catch some autumn colors and wildlife before the creek gets too high! After a warm-up road ride, we'll hit the dirt to climb Canyon and Bella Vista trails to the top of Black Mountain. After a bit of rest, snacks and views, we'll head back down Bella Vista to White Oak and Skid Rd before returning on the Canyon Trail. Water and restrooms available at the start/end and restrooms only near the top. Plan to be self-sufficient. No sweep but we will regroup at key junctions. There is one stream crossing and pretty continuous climbing to the top. Start location: Canyon Picnic Area, Cupertino, CA [Route/Map]
