Route 9 Photo Album

Santa Clara County - From Santa Cruz County line to the Los Gatos city limits.

Starting at Skyline Boulevard, this two-lane roadway winds downward from the summit at Saratoga Gap. Along the route, the scene changes from a forested landscape to a mixed forest and an abandoned apple-pear orchard farmland. The route then joins the Saratoga-Los Gatos Road at Blaney Plaza in Saratoga.

The Saratoga-Los Gatos Road traverses the cities of Monte Sereno and Saratoga curving through a comparatively level area at the foot of wooded mountains. Its protected corridor includes Villa Montalvo, a Mediterranean type structure built in 1912, which is now a community cultural center and county arboretum; and the Hakone Gardens - authentic Japanese gardens and buildings recreated from the 1915 Pan American Exposition in San Francisco.
