ABOUT ST. JOSEPH'S HILL PRESERVE
ABOUT THE HIKE
We will start by walking alongside Highway 17 along the Los Gatos Creek Trail. After that, we will wind uphill along the Jones, Manzanita, and Novitiate Trails passing over the summit of Saint Joseph's Hill. A bench is in place at the top of the hill to rest and enjoy the view from.

MILES: 6.1
ELEVATION: 967 ft
FLEXIBILITY:
On this hike, you can shorten the distance to 4 miles and around 500 ft. by skipping the Manzanita Trail loop. You can hike back while the rest of the group continues (in which case we can all meet at the restaurant) or you can wait until the group is done hiking the extra loop.

RESTAURANT (OPTIONAL):

Reservation made for 10 people. First come, first served. More than 10 people would require a set menu with a minimum of $65 per person. PLEASE, NOTE: If you RSVP too late, we may not be able to accommodate you for lunch.
