Today was a great day for a hike at Calero County Park, south of San Jose. The grassy slopes are still green and the wildflowers are plentiful. If you want to enjoy this park at it's Spring perfection you better hurry, because it will be hot and dry in a couple of weeks.
I guided my CSM class on a 6.1 mile figure 8 loop from the McKean Road entrance, south of the reservoir. We hiked from the parking lot up the Los Cerritos Trail to the Pena Trail and headed west on the Javelina Loop. Be aware that some parts of this route are steep. We then headed uphill on the Javelina Loop for a lunchstop among a serpentine wildflower display with views of the reservoir and surrounding mountains. We then paused at the pond at Fish Camp and headed back via the Figueroa Trail.
TO GET THERE... from Hwy 101 southbound take Bernal Road west, Santa Teresa Blvd. south, and Baily Avenue west.
