Ride 19 miles of paved bike path from Morgan Hill to San Jose with Free Shuttle!
The Coyote Creek Trail, built and maintained by Santa Clara County and the City of San Jose, will ultimately stretch from San Francisco Bay to Morgan Hill, of which over 2/3 will be Bay Area Ridge Trail. The new sections of trail extend the southern portion of existing trail to 19 miles. To highlight this wonderful trail, the Council, the County and the City are offering a free shuttle for cyclists (and cycle) to the south end of the trail in Anderson Lake County Park. Riders will be able to ride the entire length of this trail back to the dedication site at Tully Road. Sign up here to reserve your spot on the shuttle. Available space on the day of the event will be on first-come, first server basis the day of the event, so reserve your spot now.

Learn what's happening along the Coyote Creek Trail & how the Ridge Trail ties the neighborhood, city and Bay Area together. Over 315 miles of the planned 550+ mile Ridge Trail on the ridgetops around the Bay are open to hike or ride today.
