About us

Welcome to the San Jose Silent Hiking Meetup Group. We are a community of individuals who come together to experience the awe of wild places in companionable silence. We believe that silence allows for deeper immersion in the abundant beauty of the South Bay- and that hiking with others can feel more comfortable than setting off alone. Our goal is to engage in a meditative practice that can invite in serenity, gratitude, and wisdom.

We'll be exploring trails within an hour of San Jose. Join us and give it a try!

Come immerse yourself in the quiet serenity of nature and the warmth of community this weekend.

This gorgeous hike follows the Woodland and South Rim trails at Alum Rock Park, our city gem. The route is mostly shaded and offers some stunning views.

Bring plenty of water- it's heating up this weekend!

Length: 4.6 mi
Elevation gain: ~750'
Estimated hike time 2.5 hrs

There are a few steep climbs, but they're not too long.

Meet at the Eagle Rock parking lot.

During the hike, we'll limit ourselves to "functional speech" - speaking only when needed to stay on the route, request a break, or otherwise help each other. Conversation before and after the hike is welcome and encouraged!
