Sanborn County Park
Saratoga · Santa Clara County · redwoods
A redwood grove on the Saratoga side of the ridge, run by Santa Clara County Parks. Everything happens in daylight, and the county's wedding fee includes a photo permit.
The 6:30pm music cutoff in late summer is the constraint most likely to affect a timeline here, and it is seasonal rather than year-round.
