This place is the good place for hiking and to watching the sun set. And it is free of parking. The trails are very easy, and there are many kinds of birds, it is great place for taking the photo for the birds. At evening, the sunset is gorgeous, the Dombarton Bridge under the there, just a great view.

Enjoyed walking/trekking on Coyote Hills Regional Park. There is a fee per car (and additional cost for dog) to get into the park. During winter period, it can be really cold because of the wind, so be prepared. This is at least half a day event. There are various route you can take and you can determine from the start. Highly recommend for those who wants outside activity and exercise.

My wife and I have been going to see silent and early "talkie" films at the Niles Film Museum roughly quarterly since it was restored in 2004. The original Edison Theater opened here in 1913. It's been pointed out by some reviewers that this museum/theater is a quite modest by the standards of other museums devoted to movie history, e.g. the Hollywood Museum in Hollywood or the Museum of Western Film History in Lone Pine that are admittedly magnificent, and that would be true. Nonetheless, this is another of Fremont’s gems that is dedicated to local film history, but unfortunately it doesn't have the budget of the larger, grander film musuems. Films are shown weekly on Saturday nights and on some Sunday afternoons with live music that are always well attended by enthusiastic audiences. And there is a small museum containing memorabilila of the film era in Niles when Charlie Chaplin and Bronco Billy Anderson, the first cowboy star, where making films in Niles and the surrounding hills, including at least one that I know of that was filmed in San Francisco on the west end of Golden Gate Park. If you’re a fan of silent films or enjoy movie history, this a must see. The museum is modest but very interesting and continues to grow funded by donors. One of the most interesting parts of the theater is its original projection room that had been sealed up since the 1923 sale of the Edison Theater with its original projection equipment in place and then rediscovered during the restoration. Films are now shown using the original projectors. I highly recommend. And don't miss the projection room tour.

We used to come to Ardenwood (from San Jose) at least once or twice a year when our kids were young. When they started high school, they simply were too busy, so we've not been in many years. Today we decided to go for the Harvest Festival and I am glad we did. Even without little kids, it was a fun day. We managed to pick some corn, although by Sunday afternoon almost all the corn had been picked, and we walked around and looked at the farm, the historic house and the pumpkin patch across from the farm. Small kids, especially, will have a great time on the train, running around the farm area and looking at the farm animals. Check the schedule for special events.

California Historical Landmark No. 334. Mission San Jose was founded on June 11, 1797 by Father Fermin Francisco de Lasuen.

A tour through Old Mission San Jose’s historic facilities includes the Mission Museum, the Church, the historic Cemetery, and the Garden. In the Museum, an 18-minute video depicts Spanish exploration and the 1797 founding of the mission as well as day-to-day living within the mission. See Ohlone Indian artifacts, religious objects from the Franciscan period, and items from the Mission and Rancho eras. The Church is a reconstruction of the 1830s mission adobe church, built with the materials and using construction methods of that time. It also contains the rare Rosales Opus 14 Spanish Organ. The cemetery holds the graves of many prominent Spanish and American settlers, and the rose garden includes a fountain and plantings representing the original mission period.
