CICERO/STANFORD NEWS SERVICE; COURTESY OF DJERASSI RESIDENTS ARTISTS PROGRAM 9 KICK BACK IN STYLE SOOTHING SUMMER WALK The best place we know for a tranquil walk is at the 18-acre Hakone Estate and Gardens (21000 Big Basin Way, Saratoga), a Japanese-style garden where you can linger by the koi pond, delight in the cascading waterfall, and find peaceful refuge among the tall bamboo. Or amble along the Stevens Creek Trail in Cupertino, between McClellan Ranch Preserve (22221 McClellan Road) and Stevens Creek Boulevard, one of most pleasant multi-use public trails in the valley. The trail takes users along a scenic portion of bubbling Stevens Creek, through the Blackberry Farm Picnic Grounds, along Blackberry Farm Golf Course, and through an historic orange grove next to an old ranch home.
