sierra azul (in the los gatos area) is a nice place to hike, somewhere other than quicksilver park (in almaden). you've got a good amount of trails, a good distance to hike. it's not too hot, not too cold. you have to dodge a lot of mountain bikers though. (btw, even though the address says los altos, the park's in los gatos. i guess the office is in los altos. los altos and los gatos aren't very near each other.)
