Backpackers, horseback riders and bicyclists trekking through the Santa Cruz Mountains could soon zoom between two large parks on the southernmost edge of Santa Clara County.
On Tuesday, the Board of Supervisors will vote on what is set to ultimately become a multi-use trail connection between Uvas Reservoir County Park to the north and Mt. Madonna County Park to the south. The trail rights for the 735 acres of land sandwiched between the two parks — roughly five times the size of the county’s fairgrounds — will cost the county $1.25 million.
The land itself is set to be purchased by the Santa Clara Valley Habitat Agency at a total cost of $7 million from the Bates family, Uvas Reservoir Park came under the county’s Parks and Recreation control in 1960, while Mt. Madonna was first purchased in 1927 and later expanded over the course of three decades. Mt. Madonna’s 1,897-foot peak was named by poet and pioneer Hiram Wentworth, who lived in the area in the late 1800s, according to the county.
