MT. HAMILTON
Climbing from San Jose to the greatest star act in Bay Area to check out Lick Observatory, vistas, & great scenery
lick observatory
An overall view of Lick Observatory atop Mt. Hamilton.
To find out how people reach for the stars first you must climb 4,209 feet. You’ll find more bicyclists — and motorcyclists — journeying up Highway 130 from the Alum Rock district of San Jose or from Livermore via San Antonio Road on weekends to reach the lofty summit of Mt. Hamilton than you will vehicles.
