Bear Creek: sawmills, a seminary and open space

Land stories from sawmills and a seminary to open space

Explore changing land use at the Alma Cultural Landscape, with an optional nature loop bringing the outing to about 3.5 miles.

Before you go

  • The meeting point is in the hills near Los Gatos, about one mile along Bear Creek Road from Highway 17.

  • The roughly three-mile nature loop after the history portion is optional.

  • Wear trail shoes, bring water and check closure notices before departure.
