Saratoga is on the western edge of the Santa Clara Valley (better known as Silicon Valley).
This lovely bedroom community is forested with colorful exotic trees, though if you drive State Route 9 up into the Santa Cruz Mountains toward Big Basin, it’s not long before you pass through Near Peak bigleaf maple, as Vishal Mishra found this past weekend.
- CA-9, Saratoga (423′) – Near Peak (50-75%) Go Now.
