After a car shuttle to Deer Hollow Farm, you’ll begin the trek with a gentle ascent, then ramble up the High Meadow Trail to the "PG&E bench" for amazing vistas traversing woodlands, grasslands, and chaparral. You’ll then explore the less-traveled Quarry Trail leading to the steep Black Mountain Trail. Bring a lot of water and a lunch for a well-deserved rest stop at the summit of Black Mountain. The group will determine the route back to the farm (out-and-back or loop down Black Mountain to the Chamise Trail, adding two miles to the journey). Reservations are required and will be accepted on or after March 23 at 12:00 p.m. (Noon) and close April 3 at 2:00 p.m.Where to Meet:Meet near the restroom at the bottom of the hill in the preserve parking lot farthest to the right. From I-280, take Foothill Boulevard south and turn right almost immediately onto Cristo Rey Drive. Continue about 1 mile, veer right around the traffic circle, and turn left into the park. After entering the preserve, turn right and drive approximately 0.3 miles to Lot 6.  - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/cupertino/ramble-from-rancho-to-black-mountain/100001980722932611 - **Event Categories**: trips-adventures, trekking, business, volunteering - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Cupertino - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Rancho San Antonio Preserve - **lat**: 37.3326469 - **long**: -122.087091 - **full address**: Rancho San Antonio Preserve, 22500 Cristo Rey Dr, Cupertino, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Ramble from Rancho to Black Mountain - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/84060e3f401c98b9bd97cc2a6ee4a1f3074fdd187f807b8d9bbfd5ccabd1bdc1-rimg-w1200-h1200-dc21658c-gmir.jpg?v=1769734003 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Ramble from Rancho to Black Mountain being held? - **A:** Ramble from Rancho to Black Mountain takes place on Mon, 06 Apr, 2026 at 08:45 am to Mon, 06 Apr, 2026 at 03:00 pm at Rancho San Antonio Preserve, 22500 Cristo Rey Dr, Cupertino, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Ramble from Rancho to Black Mountain? - **A:** Ramble from Rancho to Black Mountain is organized by Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
