Help SAVE Henry Coe State Park
We visited Henry Coe State Park yesterday again and did a family hike on Memorial Day. It was sad but great to see how many families and groups were there hiking and playing outside together. At the end of the Holiday weekend, there were still full parking lots, a big number of bikers riding up and down, and enough people on the trails that we had to say 'excuse me' and pull over to let others pass. ;)
Henry Coe State Park
Happy Monday! Today we went for one of my favorite drives in the area, up the 10 mile windy road to Henry Coe State Park. This always seems like the longest 10 miles we've ever been on, but it's worth it when we get to the top. The drive goes through beautiful countryside above Morgan Hill, past ranches that have been there since 1877, over a railroad bridge, cattle guards, and gorgeous views over Lake Anderson and the croplands below. Today, like most other times we've driven this road, we were the only ones on the road except for the wildlife.
Once at the top, we ran around looking at the views, stopped by the visitor center and said hello to our friend John, and of course spent money in the gift shop!
