Alum Rock Park

San Jose

California's oldest municipal park hides 13 miles of trails through oak-shaded canyons, past 1890s mineral spring ruins, and up to Eagle Rock's sweeping Bay Area views. From stroller-friendly creek walks to lung-busting switchbacks, this 720-acre sanctuary feels worlds away despite sitting right in San Jose's backyard.
