Everything about Mount Umunhum totally explained
Mount Umunhum (
Ohlone, meaning
resting place of the hummingbird) is the fourth-highest peak in the
Santa Cruz Mountains of
California (after
Loma Prieta Peak, Crystal Peak, and Mt. Chual). The mountain is situated in
Santa Clara County, southeast of
Los Gatos and south of South
San Jose. The peak can be recognized in the South Bay Area by the large concrete box that sits atop the summit.
The summit of Mount Umunhum is the site of the former
Almaden Air Force Station, an early-warning
radar station that operated from
1958 to
1980. Most of the mountain is within the
Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve, managed by the
Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District. The summit is closed to the public due to
lead and
asbestos contamination of the former
Air Force site, as well as access issues with local property owners.
In August 2005, a raid on a farm on the eastern slope of the mountain culminated in a shoot-out in which a marijuana grower was killed and a state Fish and Game warden was injured.
