Henry W. Coe
Today we went to Henry W. Coe State Park for a hike. Bijan, Amra, Tina and Myself went there in the afternoon, the weather was beautiful. This park is the largest State Park in California with over 87,000 acres of space. I saw this place on my bosses background at work. The park is only 40 minutes away from Mountain View so it is really accessible.
There are some really big leafless trees in the park. We hiked for about 3 hours total and half way through we stopped a nice lake and had some food.
This park is really peacefull and beautifull. I wanted to go to this place for sime time and I was happy that I got to go.
I also wanted to know who this Henry Coe person was. It turns out that Henry Coe was a Cattle Rancher who owned all the land privately. He died in 1943. His daughter later bought the land and donated it to Santa Clara County in 1953 and was a county park. It became a State Park in 1958. Since then, the Park has grown in area to its current 87,000 acres.
