A new twist on an old hike
Every so often I hike at Calero County Park south of San Jose, often taking the Peña Trail to the Javelina Loop Trail, which I tend to hike in a clockwise direction. Near the furthest point from the trailhead the Javelina Trail crosses a ridge and then drops down towards Calero Reservoir.
