Hike Mount Hamilton in Grant Park in Santa Clara

October 2, 2011

Join us on this 7.5 mile hike on the grassy hillsides of Mount Hamilton in the South Bay. Grant Park is located at the base of Mount Hamilton nestled among grasslands and majestic oak trees. This park is home to a variety of wildlife (wild pigs year round and tarantulas in the fall), wildflowers in the spring and fall, and mistletoe in winter.

This hike will take you winding up the slopes of Mount Hamilton with views of Grant and Bass lakes. The hike has an elevation gain of about 1,300 ft, making it a moderate level hike. We'll also serve up a delicious picnic lunch along the way.

Meet new friends, explore the trails with experienced guides and make this weekend count!
