#55 - Maisie's Peak via Parker Ranch (and Detour to Nob Hill)

05-07-2022

Saratoga, California

Maisie's Peak is a very casual hike located within the Fremont Older Open Space Preserve in the California South Bay. In addition to hiking, this area has many trails open to bikes and equestrians as well. If you're a peak bagger, just as the Parker Ranch Trail merges with the Coyote Ranch Trail, you can take an obvious straight detour to summit Nob Hill (1,140 ft.). It's a perfect hike for the whole family!
 
Distance: 4.4 miles (Out-and-Back)
 
Elevation Gain: 751 ft.
 
Final Elevation: 1,181 ft.
 
Directions to the Trailhead Use the following coordinates in Google Maps to route your directions to the Prospect Parking Area. There is also street parking in the likely event that the parking lot is full. 
 

From the parking lot, walk east along Prospect Road and turn right onto Parker Ranch Road. Keep right until you see the following sign / trailhead.
 
Shady at first, then it'll open up to sunny hills!
 
Continuing on...
 
Quick detour to Nob Hill.

Continuing on...
 
Made it!

#55.
