Mount Sizer is a summit in the Diablo Range located within Henry W. Coe State Park, rising to approximately 3,216 feet. Steep trails crisscross the mountain, winding through the terrain and offering expansive views across Santa Clara County from the top.
History
The mountain was accessed via a fire road built in the park's early days to reach Blue Ridge and surrounding areas. This infrastructure reflects early development within California's largest state park.
