Tamien Monument

view map

From a bike ride along the Coyote Creek trail, several weekends ago.

"This stone marker, created by a local artist, denotes the geographical center point of the Santa Clara Valley. It consists of a smooth granite stone mounted in the ground with “Silicon Valley” etched into it in two languages, English and binary code, thus denoting the shift from the Valley’s agricultural past to its present connotation as Silicon Valley and a center of the high tech business world."
