Destination Location

Clinics are held at Castle Rock State Park in Los Gatos, CA.  The entrance to Castle Rock is just 2.5 miles southeast of the Hwy 35 and Hwy 9 junction on Hwy 35 (also called Skyline Blvd).

The simplest way to get to Castle Rock from any direction is to drive to Saratoga, CA, and then take Hwy 9 (Big Basin Way) up in to the Santa Cruz Mountains.  At the top of the hill, Hwy 9 intersects with Skyline Blvd:
-Turn left on Skyline/35
-The park entrance is 2.5 miles down on the right hand side
