This is the remnant of a working ranch left over from the Spanish/Mexican land grants. Most of the original buildings are still there and on display. The tarantula festival is a hoot look for it in Spetember

About an hour south of San Jose, Henry Coe park is a great place to hike. It's possible to do short, medium or long hikes, as well as varying degrees of difficulty.

I've always enjoyed the state parks in Santa Clara County and Henry Coe is one of the best. It just takes so long to get up there I don't make it there enough. From 101 exit on Dunne you are looking at 20-25 minutes just to get to the parking. Enjoy the hikes.

There are also quite a few small lakes and ponds that are all full of Bass. The fishing is really good, but you will have to hike a ways to get to them.…
