Location: Joseph D. Grant County Park

Let's hike a loop trail that gives a nice overview of Joseph D. Grant County Park (often called "Grant Ranch" because the land was once owned by prominent ranchers of the same name) and is vast swaths of open, wild terrain in the hills east of San Jose.

Trail's summary:

* Length: 5.7 mi
* Elevation gain: 754 ft.
* Just a few shaded parts, mostly open space.

Please, bring:

* layered cloths,
* shoes appropriate for a longer hike,
* hat,
* water,
* sunglasses.
* Dogs are allowed on leash.

Parking fee at the Park's parking lot is $6.

See comments to the photo for orientation. We will hike Dutch Flat and Dairy Trails loop.

Be careful when driving to/from the Park, some part of the shortest road that leads to the Park (Quimby) is a bit narrow with a cliff at one side. (But this road opens great views over the valley!) Or instead, take Route 130 though it is quite longer (and needs to be checked on closures as well, before taking it.)

Let's meet and hike with views of Mount Hamilton!
