We like the Peninsula area of San Francisco Bay, There are nice places to go such as parks, museums, sports facilities, Stanford University and San Jose State is there. This is also where many high technology firms are located.

Tree-shaded trail stretching 12 miles.
Reviewed By JaneZu66 - San Mateo, United States
The views are beautiful and it's a great place to go for a walk or a bike ride! There are mile markers so you know how far you've gone. There are enough people using the trail in the first couple miles of the trail so that you're safe, but not so crowded that's loud or annoying.

A beautiful hidden gem in San Mateo. Very well maintained park with plenty of open space grass area. Moderate hi Kiki game trails with an amazing overlook at the top of Sugarloaf Peak. It’s a climb but so worth it.
