SUMMARY:Sierra Azul Open Space (San Jose) With an Option for a Shorter Hike Ending at 12:30pm
LOCATION:Sierra Azul Open Space (San Jose)
DESCRIPTION:<div class="page" title="Page 9"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column
 "><p>California’s plant diversity is among the greatest in the world and ma
 ny of our native plants are suitable for landscaping. It is easy to see why
 : locally native plants have evolved in local soils and microclimates and f
 it perfectly in Bay Area gardens.</p><p>Join Arvind Kumar, Ashok Jethananda
 ni, Stephanie Morris and Vicki Silvas- Young on this walk along Woods Trail
  to learn about the native plants local to our area. Arvind and Ashok are h
 ome gardeners in San Jose with a special interest in local natives. Stephan
 ie is a landscape architect and past Gardening with Natives Committee chair
 . Vicki</p><p>leads many field trips for the Chapter, Santa Clara Valley Au
 dubon Society and Open Space Authority.</p><p>This hike is particularly foc
 used on native plants on the trail that work well in gardens (and are gener
 ally available at native plant nurseries). It is not a detailed plant taxon
 omy trip. Observing the microclimates, companions and mature sizes of local
 ly native plants can be a fantastic way to learn more about native plant ga
 rdening.</p><div class="page" title="Page 10"><div class="layoutArea"><div 
 class="column"><p>This contour trail of the Sierra Azul range has gradual a
 scents/descents, and the north-facing aspect keeps it cool even on warm day
 s. The plants are flourishing after this season’s extended rainfall, and ma
 ny may still be blooming. Plan future additions to your garden armed with t
 he knowledge of the many attractive shrubs, subshrubs, perennials, and annu
 als that grow naturally here.</p><p>The full-length walk is 5.6 miles (out 
 and back), with 330 ft of elevation gain/loss. Dress in layers, appropriate
 ly for the weather. Bring a sack lunch and plenty of fluids.</p><p>For thos
 e wishing to take a shorter hike, we will also leave with the main group at
  10am but we will turn back earlier and skip the lunch break, returning to 
 the parking lot by about 12:30pm. The shorter trip is about 2.5 miles and i
 s also perfect for families! Bring water and bring snacks if desired.</p><p
 >Directions: Take Hwy. 85 to San Jose. Take the Camden Ave. exit and go sou
 th. In 1.8 mi, turn right on Hicks Rd. After 6.3 miles, turn right on Mt Um
 unhum Rd. The parking lot is immediately on the right. In Google maps drive
  to pin “Sierra Azul Parking Lot at Jacques Ridge.”</p><p>We will meet in t
 he lot at 10am and plan to return by 3 pm. (If the lot is full, find parkin
 g on the opposite side of Hicks Rd. in Almaden Quicksilver Park’s Wood Road
  lot and walk back.)</p></div></div></div></div></div></div>
