Hikes in Sanborn Skyline County Park

1 Jan 2012

Sanborn Skyline is a redwood park close to Saratoga downtown. Popular for camping and hiking. All hikes are shaded. In summers, Sanborn Skyline helps you escape from towns in Silicon Valley where temperatures are about ten degrees higher.

Best Months to Visit: Any time of the year. I especially like winters.

The main park entrance is via Sanborn Rd. In July 2010, vehicle entrance fees was $6. The fees was levied only after 8am. You could enter the park before 8am and no entrance fees was collected if the entrance kiosk was unmanned.
