Cupertino Cycling - Seven Springs Loop Trail

 

On the Google Maps (link), there is a place called Seven Springs Loop Trail. It looks like a good vista point. I first rode up to Upland Way from Bubb Rd. Hit the dead end. Then I back off, took the Regnatt Rd. Same thing. There are trail head lookalike, but with private property post. Anyway, this is a good ride. About 16km total, and 228m total ascent.

Back home, I asked Gemini. It says:
Yes, the Seven Springs Loop Trail is accessible to the public. It is located within the Fremont Older Open Space Preserve, which is managed by the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District.
The trail can be accessed from the Prospect Road parking lot (Maps), and while parking is free, it can be limited and fill up quickly, especially on weekends.

I think I would need to come back next time from the right side.

Made the second attemp from Prospect Rd.
Reached Prospect Road Parking (below). This is where you can access the Fremont Old Open Space.

However I continued upward. It is part paved and part gravel. Not well maintained. Finally reached the end of road. The sign says 0.6Mile to Regnart Rd and 2Mile to Stevens Creek Co. Park. But there is a no bike sign. I have to turn back.
