Old San Jose Highway

Map

     

       This quiet two-mile road, also signed as “Woodwardia Hwy,” connects Hwy 17 to Summit Rd, passing through redwood and mixed evergreen forest. It offers a nice chance for an extended walk, or one could park here and there and bird near the car. This area harbors many breeding birds, and it is birdy, as well, in late fall and winter. From Hwy 1 go north on Hwy 17 for 12.5 miles and turn right at the little sign for Woodwardia Hwy shortly before reaching the summit. Or from the summit on Hwy 17, go 1.1 miles southeast on Summit Rd and turn right on Old Santa Cruz Hwy.
