Mayfair Ranch Trail

Mayfair Ranch Trail is a short, easy mountain biking route in California's Rancho Cañada del Oro Open Space Preserve, on land managed by a regional agency. The trail is an out-and-back, about 0.9 miles long, with a low point of 1,071 feet and a high of 1,304 feet. The climb is gentle, totaling about 220 feet of elevation gain, and the trail is rated easy. Spring and fall bring the most comfortable temperatures. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Los Gatos show May highs around 75°F and October highs around 76°F, while July and August average about 85°F. That station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. Longwall Canyon Trail is about half a mile away, and Catamount Trail and Needlegrass Trail are each about a mile off. Climbers can reach Lower Guadalupe Rock, roughly 5 miles away.
