Thanks for posting. Are you going? I hope to convince Vern to come along with me. I can’t remember hiking there so it’s worth a visit to me!
Ann: I’ll do some poking around and see if anybody’s been hiking there before.
In the Mercury & the Santa Clara County Parks website they both mention Sun 5/18/08 for the Healthy Trail Challenge @ Hellyer Co Park so lots of activities & FREE stuff, parking, food, etc.
