Milpitas지역 추천 산행지.(Ed Levin County Park)
여기도 산악회에서는 한번도 안가본데 같은데.
Ed Levin County Park
Ed Levin County Park is a unique multiple activity park located in the hills just east of Milpitas. Even though the park is located less than 20 minutes from an urban area, it offers miles of challenging trails as well as many other activities such as picnicking, fishing, and even has an off-leash dog park for Fido. In addition, the park provides several launch sites for hang gliders and paragliders.
The trails in Ed Levin are mainly fire roads that range from moderate to very steep. The elevation in the park varies from around 500' near the lake to over 2500' near the summit of Monument Peak. Because of the elevation gain, Ed Levin Park is a great place for some hill training, only minutes from the urban area. Your efforts are rewarded with great views of the Bay Area. And, the trails connect to Mission Peak Regional Preserve, so very long and challenging runs or hikes are possible by linking the two parks.
The weather in Ed Levin County Park is typically mild in the winter and hot and dry in the summer. There is very little shade in the park, so we recommend bringing plenty of water and wearing sunscreen if you attempt the trails in the summer!
All of the runs on this page start from the trailhead near the dog park by Sandy Wool Lake.

Favorite Run #2: Ed Levin to Mission Peak (12.5 mi, ~2700 feet elevation gain)
This run combines the hill climb of Favorite Run #1 with an out-and-back to Mission Peak. The trail from Monument Peak to Mission Peak is almost other-worldly, rolling through the backside of the ridge. Approaching Mission Peak from this direction gives you a unique and rarely seen perspective of the peak. Note that this route has a LOT of climbing and almost no shade, so please bring plenty of water on a hot day! To get to the trailhead, drive past Sandy Wool Lake and follow signs to the dog park. Park in the paved lot near the dog park and look for the Tularcitos Trailhead. GPX Track Printable Trail Map Driving Directions |
