There are multiple paths to Maisie's Peak. We started from Stevens Creek Tony Look trailhead, which is on Stevens Canyon Road. It is a 1.5mile hike raising up about 700 ft from the starting point. The initial hike to Inspiration Point rises monotonically about 500 ft. The peak itself is not remarkable in any way. There is not even a bench there. The views are quite nice. The Silicon Valley urban sprawl is visible in full splendor! Quite depressing, but then this park is a welcome relief.
Overall good trail. Mostly shaded but can get difficult towards the end. We started at 7.30 AM from the piccheti winery and reached the top at around 9.30
We were back in the parking lot at 11.30. Also saw deer and peacock on the way.
Nice trail wonderful view from the top it's better to start early as, if it sunny not too much shade as it's open wide trail majorly and having the All trail map helps you as they have a lot of trails that merge there they do have the boards but it's better with the navigate map on phone.
Good hike, not too challenging, and not too long. Plan to park along be the side of the road before the last turn, parking lot (prospect road) is often full. All trails at the park are dog friendly.
Good vista point on the Stevens Creek County side. BTW you can also get to it from Fremont Older side. It's a steep hill but the view at the top is really. When I go up with a bike, I start from the side of the entrance so I can get some momentum, I make it without a stop most times :). Good for some bragging rights.
