Silicon Valley

Trail Thoughts and Musings

At various points during the climb to the top of St. Joseph's Hill, expansive vistas open up to the Santa Clara valley. At the base of the hill lay the towns of Los Gatos and Blossom Hill. The taller buildings towards the horizon are in the Civic Center of downtown San Jose. On the horizon toward the right lies Sunnyvale and the heart of the Silicon Valley. On exceptionally clear days the white buildings of San Francisco can sometimes be seen.
