The area is mountain lions territory. Do not hike alone and take care of kids, if you have some with you. Having seen the grass I guess it is hard to realize them in time. The park suggests not to run away nor to bend, nor to show your back. Be loud and try to appear larger as you are. Thats why it is an advantage to be more than one person.

Unfortunately we haven't seen one as well.

My colleagues found three of them each moving on their body (I was lucky and stayed clean) and we saw many waiting on grass to be picked up.

If you are unlucky, ask a doctor! To remove them I found this on the web:

but has turned into a billowing bedroom community, not even contained by the mountains on either side! Even with the houses popping up everywhere, there's quite a lot of beautiful rolling countryside,...
Sanwiched between San Jose and Gilroy is the small but cool little town of Morgan Hill. Not a ton to do, but a good place to raise a family.
