Where Wellness Meets the Skyline
Join us for stunning vistas of the Santa Cruz Mountains and Silicon Valley as we hike out to the Guadalupe Creek Overlook. Along the way we'll enjoy serpentine grasslands, chaparral, dense stands of bay trees, shaded oak woodland forests, and riparian corridors that surround seasonal or year-round water flow. Upon our return to the cars we'll drive up to the summit for the grand view and to enjoy lunch at the Mt. Umunhum Picnic Area.
