Tips from the Community

Nestled in Fremont just north of San Jose, Old Mission San José, originally built by the Spanish in 1797, was painstakingly restored after decades of neglect. Visitors can step into history as they tour the original doors of the 1809 adobe church. Guided and self‑guided tours, the former being led by knowledgeable docents, bring the Rancho to life.

Calfateras road begins by a robust climb, and then it changes to a series of switchbacks with spectacular views to the reservoir and surrounding park. The switchbacks alternate between downhill and moderate climbs, before a long downhill and flat terrain.

Riding south on Felter road from Calaveras after doing Polamares and and Calaveras Roads was a real challenge, especially since it was my first time! Get something to fuel up on at the Sunol Little Store!

This is a nice stretch of road that follows along the path of Alameda Creek as it cuts through the foothills.

When in season you will see a lot of beautiful oleander lining the road along this stretch.

Bedwell Bayfront Park is 160 acres in size and encourages hiking, running, bicycling, dog walking, bird watching, kite flying, and photography. This Park is walled in by Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge, so the chances of seeing wildlife is higher here.

Cooley Landing is open from Sunrise To Sunset, opened to the public in April 2015. This area has the highest concentration of the endangered Ridgway's Rail (Rallus obsoletus) in the world, so keep an eye out for them!
