Briefly about the general area:
A pleasant trip to The Meadows is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon; a great location to camp here at Alambique Trail is Trailer Villa. That right there is a lot of amusing stuff already but it goes
on, the Santa Cruz Mountains has it all. Alambique Creek flows through this area, and Summit Spring is always fun to check out.
I can't stop, cause I'm havin' a great time here at Alambique Trail. There's some flowing water close by, Martin Creek is a stream you can have a
look at during your stay; Bear Gulch is close at hand, and is a perfect site. All our national parks are tremendous places to check out, and Juan Bautista De Anza National Historic Trail is no exception, and lots of folks from San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont come here. You'll beyond
doubt wish for more hours in a day to enjoy all the fun stuff in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Soar down the rapids of Pescadero Creek in a kayak, and why not camp at Trailer Rancho while you're here at Alambique Trail.
