I'm not sure
when the Open Space gained control of these Bear Creek Open
Space Preserve properties, but I do know that I've always been
quite curious about what was along this now-gated access road
off of southbound Highway 17, especially after I started
commuting between Santa Cruz County and Santa Clara County
regularly beginning October 1984.
Accessing this micro directly from nearby southbound Highway 17
is possible and does not require an access permit and would deserve
a terrain rating of 1. But be warned that parking on Highway 17 may
earn you a ticket from the CHP.
I strongly recommend getting an access permit from the Bear
Creek Open Space Preserve management and exploring the
Preserve!
Permits and further information may be easily obtained by calling
the District office at (650) 691-1200 during regular business
hours. (Ask for Leslie.)
Enjoy! And happy caching!
