The landmark lies west of San Martin, and is adjacent to the resort village of CordeValle.

The hill and surrounding area is located on approximately 1,400 acres (570 ha) of privately owned lands, and is viewable along U.S. Route 101 and California State Route 152 in South Santa Clara Valley.

The land surrounding the peak, once part of the historic Rancho San Francisco de las Llagas, was purchased by Messrs Lion and Buckley in the late 19th century.

[4] In the summer of 2008, dry lightning ignited fires northwest of the hill, burning nearly 800 acres (320 ha) nearby.
