Sanborn Park hiking trails
Sanborn Park is a beautiful county park in Santa Clara County which offers hiking trails, camping, and more. It is easy to find right off highway 9 just a few minutes past downtown Saratoga, aka “The Village of Saratoga.”
We have been camping and hiking at Sanborn over the years, but I realized I never shared this beautiful park with you! Shame on me! If you are local to the San Francisco Bay Area, or traveling here and love a good hike, I highly recommend checking out Sanborn Park!
The park offers several hiking trails at varying abilities. It can get steep, so only bring small children if you know they can handle it. The parking lot fee is nominal, and there is also limited free parking along Sanborn Road which fills up before 9am. If you park in the lot, you can keep a cooler in the back of your car and enjoy a fun picnic in the picnic area after your hike. I feel like that is worth the small fee!
If a picnic isn’t your thing, you can drive a few minutes back into Saratoga and enjoy a meal at one of the many restaurants in town.
The trails at Sanborn Park are quiet and peaceful. If you are looking for a hike which is filled with nature, but isn’t too far away from civilization, this is the perfect spot. You can get away from it all in just a few minutes. Love that!
You can learn more about Sanborn County Park online at their website.

This summer is also all about investment dressing and building a timeless wardrobe with pieces which transcend fleeting trends. I am loving luxurious materials and impeccable craftsmanship. If you missed it earlier this week, I reviewed my new Mulberry Amberley and have fallen in love with the Mulberry brand. They offer timeless styles, exceptionable materials and craftsmanship while being eco-conscious. Love that! Check out my review here.
If you have some time off next week consider shopping your closet and finding items to either donate, sell, or move to the front of your closet. After you organize what you have, make a shopping list for fall. The Nordstrom sale is coming up in July and you’ll be able to snap up a handful of items for your wardrobe at a discount. Love discounts! I am researching what is on sale as we speak, so stay tuned for my curated Nordstrom Anniversary Sale shopping list!
As you shop your closet, take a peek at the fall color trends here to help you decide what to store or move to the front of your closet. Also remember to continue storing logo-wear. They will eventually be trendy again, just be patient if you are a logo-fan.
