Shoreline Long Run

from Mario's podcast · host Mario Orlando

I ran to Shoreline Park in Mountain View, CA. This is my typical 20 milers. I get some road run to the entrance of a nice bike trail that finish at Shoreline. Here some info of the Park from baytrail site: West of Stevens Creek near the Bay is Shoreline at Mountain View. Shoreline at Mountain View Park is a beautiful 700-acre park with a saltwater lake, golf course, rolling grassy hills, and bay trails. It's hard to believe it was built on mountains of trash. For 13 years, starting in 1968, 500 acres of the land near the bay was used here as a landfill for trash from the city of San Francisco. In 1983, Mountain View closed the dump and began turning it into a park. Here is a history of the park. Next to Shoreline Park are the towering tent peaks, the largest in the world, of the Shoreline Amphitheatre . The park's 50-acre lake is popular with wind surfers and small boaters. The strong bay winds make the park a favorite place for stunt kite flying. The park has 10 miles of trails, some paved, some dirt. Paved trails lead past the golf course, around the lake, and along the tidal marshes and salt ponds . Some trails lead northwest to Palo Alto's Baylands Nature Preserve. This park is particularly beautiful at 6AM, with the wildlife still around warming up for the day.
