The San Francisquito Creek Bridge provides a smooth ride over the San Francisquito Creek, which eventually ends in southwest San Francisco Bay. Enjoy the beauty here and stop on the bridge to peer down into the creek.

A lovely little cut through from the quiet MP part of Alma to the busy PA side (or the turn across the tracks and El Camino to Sand Hill). If you're not in a hurry, pause on the bridge to enjoy the view of the creek which might be dry in the summer or a raging torrent in the winter. The rail bridge to the west is the original Southern Pacific bridge from a century ago, still in use by Caltrain. And if you look closely, you will find El Palo Alto (from which the city gets its name) in this grove of redwoods. It is not obvious in 2024 but it is signed.
