Pyramid Rock

Pyramid Rock is a summit in California, about 12 miles from San Jose. The weather station closest to it sits on Mt Hamilton, roughly 3.6 miles away at 4,206 feet, so the summit's climate runs much like that high ground east of the city. Late spring through early fall is the drier stretch. Typical averages from the nearby Mt Hamilton station show highs around 62°F in May and 74°F in September, with few wet days through the summer, while winter months bring highs near 50°F, frequent wet days and an occasional day of snow. Several trails lie within a few miles. The Isabel Creek Trail is about 2.6 miles away, with the Mule Trail and Manzanita Trail a little farther out at just over 3 miles, and paddlers can head to Coyote Creek, about 8 miles distant.
