Spring is well and truly upon us, and with it comes the enchantment and wonder of the wildflowers. After a particularly wet winter, the hills around Almaden Valley and the nature parks surrounding it are now bejewelled in a riot of colors in the form of spring wildflowers. Besides the poppies, daisies and clovers carpeting the meadows, one can also find the jewelflower, the California gilia, the California buttercup, brodiaea, baby blue eyes, woodland star and the shooting star, among other varieties dotting the hills.
Following are the Fall & Winter 2011 Outdoor Activities at Santa Clara County Parks located here in beautiful Almaden Valley, including Almaden Quicksilver County Park and Calero County Park.
