Description

The Paseo del Roble Trail starts at a small pull off on Paseo del Roble Drive where there is room for 2-3 cars. After crossing the street, there is a sign labeled "path" and the trail passes between 2 houses. At .1 miles, the trail crosses a small creek via a bridge and enters the Arastradero Preserve. The trail hooks to the left and climbs through a ravine along an old, cement road that is deteriorating. The Wild Rye Trail intersects the trail from the right at .2 miles as the Paseo del Roble Trail levels off and goes to the left. Remaining level as it skirts the Palo Alto Hills Country Club golf course on your left, views of the Stanford Dish and hills are off to your right. The trail transforms from gravel to an old, paved road as it drops to Arastradero Lake.

There is a small spur trail on the left that goes part way around the lake. The trail continues past the lake until it meets up with the Juan Bautista de Anza Trail at .4 miles. If you go to the left, there are several trails that you can explore as time allows. Turning to the right, you can follow the Juan Bautista de Anza Trail (.41 miles) and then take the Wild Rye Trail (.38 miles) until it rejoins the Paseo del Roble Trail. If time is short, you can turn around and make your way back to your car.

This trail is open year round and not subjected to seasonal closures, as some trails in the preserve are.

As the trail descends to the lake, the trail returns to an old road that is deteriorating.

The old road as it climbs up the ravine.  You can see where the concrete is deteriorating as the years pass.

The trail is gravel at this point as it hugs the hill. The golf course is off on the left.
