Baylands Nature Trail
Biking along the Baylands Nature Trail Life is like riding a bike, you gotta stay balanced and keep moving to reach your destination ~ Albert Einstein (edited) I dusted off my dirt bike and hit the open trails along Shoreline Park - a 16.7 mile stretch mostly along the SW edge of San Francisco Bay waterfront. The route incorporates both paved and unpaved paths that skirt a series of undisturbed tidal marshland or sloughs called the Baylands, stretching from Palo Alto Baylands Nature Preserve to the North all the way to Shoreline Park further south and extending into downtown Mountain View via Steven's Creek Trail. When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking. ~ Arthur Conan Doyle I highly recommend taking along a good pair of binoculars and stopping often to admire the breathtaking scenery.
