Parking is $6 (you can pay either at the entrance or at the parking lot), although there are two lots that are free. Apparently, you could see a mountain lion, but I was not that lucky. Lots of prey birds, smaller animals and deer. Drive slowly!

Alum Rock Park - San Jose, CA
Right before Christmas week I decided to do another hike in San Jose organized by a Meetup group. With only 25 people attending, I thought it would be a nice way to complete this year's San Jose journey. Alum Rock Park only has 13 miles of hiking trails, and we were planning to hike a bit over half of them. We hiked both North and South Rim Trails to equal a bit over 7 miles with 1,200 ft elevation gain. There is quite a bit of shade, but some exposed areas as well, so I would recommend dressing in layers in the winter.
