From mountains to the sea, all in this one hike.

We parked at Waddell Beach State Park and hiked to Berry Creek Falls on a Monday. It was 15 miles round trip measured by Map My Hike and my GPS. It is not a difficult hike to the wood platform where we had lunch looking at the waterfall. Most of the path is wide and listed as fire road although covered in soft tree debris, so very comfortable underfoot. Most of the hike is shaded and runs above the creek. There are lots of redwood trees, ferns and wild flowers.

"A Destination Worth Knowing" only 25 minutes from San Jose or Palo Alto or 50 minutes from San Francisco, Cooper-Garrod is a family owned and operated estate winery. Located in the foothills above Saratoga, the vines capitalize on the sunny days, moderate nights, and long growing season of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Our Plaza is open Sunday, 11-5, by reservation with pre-ordered meals and wine by the glass and bottle. Come enjoy wine where the grapes are grown.

We went to Bella Saratoga, a very good Italian restaurant, in the historic Saratoga Village area. This is a wonderful place to then take a walk after dinner. There are various stores, cafes coffee and tea shops, markets, art galleries and more. There are historic signs to read about the history of Saratoga as one walks through town. There is also a very nice World War I memorial to see.

It's part of the Santa Clara County Library System so if they don't have the material you're seeking they can get it from another one of their affiliate libraries. It's easy access and it's a nice facility. I highly recommend it.

This is a great park right next to the Inn at Saratoga. Great playground with newer equipment in excellent condition. Great for the grandkids to play on while staying at the Inn. Community events there on Saturday made is a little crowded, but it obviously gets a lot of use by the locals. A beautiful creek runs thru the park and it is easy to get down the side of the hill to wade or splash in. Great for the bigger kids. Very fun park.
