Go Take a Hike at Almaden Quicksilver Park

 

Almaden Quicksilver Park 1.26.2015

 

If anyone ever tells you to "go take a hike" I highly recommend Almaden Quicksilver Park. This park is among the many wonderful Silicon Valley Parks.

Enjoy spectacular views of the valley, hiking trails, bike trails, and equestrian trails. The trails are pet friendly. If you bring your dog be sure it is on a leash.  

I like to pack a lunch or snack and lots of water. The only potable water is at the Mockingbird Hill and Hacienda entrance.

 

Almaden Quicksilver Park

 

This beautiful trail in Almaden Valley is guaranteed fun. You will enjoy many miles of country terrain, rolling hills, old mines and historic buildings. 

This landmark of California history consists of 4,152 acres and the site of over 135 years of mining activity. It was once home to more than 1,800 miners and their families in the later part of the 19th century.

 

Almaden Valley is a great place to live and play. I know my clients who live there would not want to live anywhere else. It's a highly desirable bedroom community with top rated schools.

Kathleen I have heard this is a really beautiful place to check out. I have relatives in the Bay area and they have mentioned Almaden Quicksilver Park. I'd love to go myself one of these days.

Kathleen, I have been told to "take a hike" a couple of time in my live, but I don't think they meant for me to take a hike in a beautiful park like Almaden Quicksilver Park :)

Kathleen,

Almaden's Quicksilver Park sounds like a wonderful place to relax and how great that is is very pet friendly!  How nice that some generous people, and/or your local municipality had the forsight to preserve over 4,000 acres for public green space and use. 

Perhaps that mine would still be in operation if they hadn't found the silver so quick???

Over the years people have told me to do a lot of things, but Take a Hike was not one of those.  This sounds like a great place to commune with nature and get some exercise as well.

And yes that is a great destination to go take a hike in Almaden. There are lots of nice trees but you would still need to take plenty of water.

Kathleen, nice spotlight on the Almaden Quicksilver Park in the Silicon Valley area of California. Around here I'd suggest Monte Sano or Joe Wheeler State Park.
