Sawyer Camp Trail

The Sawyer Camp Trail is a six mile hike located in the San Andreas Fault rift valley in San Mateo. The trail offers views of the Crystal Springs Reservoir. The reservoir consists of two artificial lakes and was formed when San Mateo Creek was dammed by the Crystal Springs Dam. Now, the reservoir functions to ensure the survival of important species in the area.
The hike itself was amazing. Although the trail itself wasn't very challenging, the scenic beauty of the trail allowed the hike to be enjoyable. Views of the reservoir are breath-taking and even the more inland parts of the trail were surrounded by beautiful trees and wildlife. Overall, the hike was very pleasant and enjoyable.
