the nature-worshiping, fun-loving adventurer’s guide
A few miles from downtown San Jose, find history, wildlife, a diverse set of trails, and great picnic spots at California's oldest municipal park.
Historic mine country.
Fifteen miles of Peninsula pretty.
Lush redwood groves.
Hikers, horses and boaters welcome.
A steep but short climb to English Camp, home to the mine's English-speaking population.
This short out-and-back hike starts from the Grizzly Flat parking area, and is great for dog-walking and horseback riding.
A relatively easy-to-follow, wide-open dirt road diving deep into mountainside forests.
See a plane crash memorial, ocean view, and remarkable sandstone formation on just one walk through the woods.
