About this adventure
A park interpreter leads a 3–4 mile history hike through Almaden Quicksilver County Park, tracing how a once-busy mercury mining enterprise became a park and how changing values reshaped the landscape. The content is pitched at adults and the park recommends it for ages 10 and up, so it suits older kids and teens who can handle a three-hour hike on hilly trails. Meet at the Wood Road entrance on Hicks Road; dogs are discouraged on this hike. Free, with registration; the park has no vehicle entrance fee.
