Calaveras, The Wall
For me, “the wall” is the final section on Calaveras Road going east from Milpitas. It’s difficult and made more so by the effort reaching it from Piedmont. Someone had spray-painted “the wall” on the pavement near the start.

Within Fremont City Limits

Hiking up Mission Peak, Fremont, CA
Here is a map of the trails on Mission Peak, a popular hiking spot in Fremont, CA. You can start the hike at Ed Levin Park in the Milpitas hills or take the easy way up from Stanford Ave. in Fremont.

Mission Peak Trails
Map shows the Mission Peak Loop, the Hidden Valley Trail, and the Peak Meadow Trail. On weekends, the Mission Peak trails can see some pretty heavy foot traffic. Dogs must be on leash as there are cattle grazing right along side the trail, between the cattle crossings. Be careful about checking out rock formations: there are rattle snakes! Spectacular views of the whole Bay Area and often all the way to the Sierras award those who make it to the top.

Within San Jose City Limits

Alum Rock Park Trail Map
This is a great hot summer day hike, as this trail provides plenty of shade relief. Check out the remnants of the mineral spring spa. The trail starts paved, then turns to dirt pack. The trails of Alum Rock Park are now back open to the public after closures prompted by mountain lion sightings and then a large wildland fire in the vicinity.

The Mallard Slough Trail
This trail begins across the railroad tracks from the Alviso Slough Trail Loop. The main reason to take this trail segment is to reach the Environmental Education Center from the Alviso Slough Trail. It also reaches Mallard Slough and the Alviso Heronry.

New Tung Kee Noodle
Yelp Reviews. I’m an absolute fan and will continue being a loyal patron but be advised that the customer service isn’t great.
