Mountain View's Hetch Hetchy Trail was created in 2004 to to the Whisman community with the Steven's Creek Trail. Also, it provided a convenient way for walkers and bicyclists to go from the Middlefield Light Rail station to the interconnected Steven's Creek Trail. While there must be some connection with Hetch-Hetchy in Yosemite, such as right-of-way for the water pipe, we have not found any evidence. The trail is 10' wide with a minimum of 2' shoulders. The trail close to Whisman Park has native plants around it, while beyond that, dirt surrounds the right-of-way.
We hiked this trail after walking down the Steven's Creek Trail. We created our own loop by going out one of the Steven's CreekTrail's many exit points and meeting up with Whisman Park. We then hiked down to Google and back. The proceeded to walk the Steven's Creek Trail back to our parent's house—probably an hour and twenty minutes round trip.
