Tucked away in the southern spur of Mendocino National Forest, Snow Mountain peaks at over 7,000 feet and is considered an ecological wonderland. Traveling southeast of the bay, find Henry W. Coe State Park . Less than 30 miles from San Jose, Henry Coe is the second largest state park in California. It teems with wildlife and, considering its proximity to the bay, sees strikingly little foot traffic. It travels through two state parks and great stands of coastal redwood and alder.
Amazing sunsets play off the steep slopes of manzanita and scrub grass.
There's great hiking in almost any direction you travel. Inc. All rights reserved.
