Calaveras – Sierra Rd Loop

We had some snow over the night of January 27-28, 2002, so on the 29th, after the roads were sanded and clear, my son, Scott and I drove up in to the hills above Milpitas and San Jose to get a closer look. We took Piedmont Rd. to Calaveras. Turned right on Felter and went on up into the hills, and then back down again on Sierra Rd. to Piedmont in San Jose once again. It was about an 18 mile drive.

Recently, with Covid-19, one of the few things we can do for fun is to take a ride into the country. Here’s one of our favorite.

By Ann Zeise,
Date: January 30, 2002

Apricot orchard and mustard
The apricot and walnut grove on Piedmont Rd. near Calaveras is covered with mustard.
Palms and Snow
Palm trees glare at the audacity of snow in their ranch entrance off of Calaveras Rd.
White fence and snow
Looked like a perfect sledding hill to Scott. Too bad it’s private property.
Snowy Peaks
What could we say, but, “Oh, Wow!”
Cold cow and calf. Snowy peaks in background
OK. What’s all this talk about Zen Diva California cows who’ve never seen snow? So, now we’ve seen snow. Enough already!
Mt. Hamilton
Mt. Hamilton and its observatories in the snow, from Sierra Rd.

View of San Jose from Sierra Rd.
View of San Jose from Sierra Rd. I-680 loops on the right into downtown San Jose. It is probably Penitenia Creek canyon on the left. Rain falls in the Santa Cruz Mountains in the distance.
Monument Peak
Monument Peak up close with Mt. Diablo far in the background. We could see for miles!
Ranch, Sierra Road.
Ranch in the foothills along Sierra Rd., Santa Clara County.
Mule Deer

From Calaveras and Peidmont Road, take Calaveras east, up into the hills.
At the “Y” Stay right onto Felter Road.
At the “Y” with Sierra Road, take Sierra Road back down into the Valley.
At the bottom, take Piedmont Road back to Milpitas.

BART Map Includes Milpitas

BART Map
The BART map is getting its biggest refresh in a decade, as officials Friday rolled out a new map for the system to incorporate the soon-to-open Milpitas and Berryessa stations.

Finish line finally in sight for BART’s new Milpitas, Berryessa stations?
The finish line seems to be in sight for the first two stations of BART’s long-awaited extension into Santa Clara County, which could finally open this summer.

Milpitas and Berryessa BART stations aiming for June opening
The Milpitas and Berryessa BART stations are getting ready for business, with sights set on June for the official opening date.

Clipper cards will be used as much as possible to eliminate touch points from people’s travel experience. Meanwhile, as with VTA, social distancing measures will be established and enforced aboard all trains. In addition, extra cleaning measures will be undertaken. And rider parking payments will be largely orchestrated by way of app-based transactions. Face coverings are required for all people riding BART.

Some new construction at the Pac Bell station was blown over. Most citizens spent Sunday cleaning up debris or helping neighbors.

A large tree in Ben Rodgers Park fell on the Grand Teton home of Fred and Ann Zeise. Ann is your Go Milpitas guide for this website. The new roof has a dent along the edge, and so far the fence has stayed upright. Hopefully, the City will give the wood to the Zeises for winter firewood.
