Gavilan College Arboretum

Have you ever seen a sign while you’re driving down the freeway and wondered, “What would I find if I headed that direction?” Follow signs on the 101, just south of Gilroy, California, for Gavilan College and you will find a beautiful, small campus nestled against the eastern side of the coast range. Gavilan College is named for the Gabilan Range, which neighbors the Santa Cruz Mountains, and extends from San Benito County south as far as the Pinnacles in Monterey County.
