This route includes a loop through residential areas of historic Los Gatos. Nestled in the foothills of the Santa Cruz mountains, you will see a mixture of beautiful modern homes and well preserved Victorians. You pass the Forbes Mill as you begin the second loop along the beautiful Los Gatos Creek Trail. You will enjoy shaded areas along this popular wooded trail with a surprise railroad depot and carousel on the route. A wonderful Sunday Farmer's Market is near the end of the walk.
