Hi everyone! Come join us for a local 5.5-mile hike to the top of St. Joseph's Hill. The climb is moderate (793 ft of elevation), with rewarding views at the top that make every step worth it.
Parking: The library lot is available for free parking after 5:00 PM.

Bring plenty of water, sturdy shoes, and a light layer for the descent. Most importantly, bring a smile and a good attitude — these hikes are about good people, fresh air, and a little adventure together.
Let's meet at the Los Gatos Library (100 Villa Ave, Los Gatos, CA 95030) and walk up together from there.

Caution: Some narrow, rocky trails.
A quick heads-up on capacity: park rules limit our group size, so I may not be able to let everyone off the waitlist right away. People who hike regular with the group will get priority and I'll do my very best to add as many people as I can in the days leading up to the hike. If your plans change, a quick RSVP update means someone else can take your spot, and that's always appreciated.
