Feb 7-July, 2010: Photographer's Tour of Gilroy Yamato Hot Springs
Once the romping grounds of the Bay Area elite since 1866, Gilroy Yamato Hot Springs (GYHS) offers and peaceful escape from the hectic pace of Silicon Valley business.
GYHS has been closed to the public for 47 years. This historic landmark features a mineral well, 20 structures in varying degrees of aging (cabins, bathhouses, shrine, footbridge, pools), mature manzanita grove, bamboo, sequoia.
This is an opportunity to hone photography skills, record a moment in history, and enjoy a pleasant picnic in this peaceful canyon.
Your day will begin promptly at 1:00 p.m. with check-in and quick review of Parks Guidelines. A 30-minute guided tour will give an overview of the property and the historical perspective. You are then allowed freedom to frame and capture images, picnic, and explore.
Participation in this event supports FOGHS preservation and restoration efforts and contributes toward attendance in Coe State Parks activities. In case of inclement weather or other unavoidable circumstances, tour will be rescheduled instead of refunding registration fee.
Participants are invited to contribute images to FOGHS collection for presentation and promotional materials, and to donate prints for a future benefit exhibit and/or auction.
