Spur 95 (contributing structure)
The highway spur is roughly 18 feet wide, and runs 1.1 miles from SH 97 to the parking area near Stevens Creek. The flexible base road was completed in 1937, was first treated with road oil, and then topped with an asphalt seal coat in 1942. The spur was treated again in the 1960s. The road was probably sixteen feet wide when it was first built, but it was never significantly widened except in places where asphalt was irregularly applied through maintenance efforts. The road retains a good degree of integrity.
