If you choose to drive on Highway 17 between Los Gatos, be careful.
That stretch of the highway is narrow and curvy, the speed high, and
with many slow trucks.  Not very surprisingly, accidents are
frequent.

An alternate route between Los Gatos and Santa Cruz _during the day time_
is Highway Nine.  Turn off 17 in Los Gatos, and you will join Highway One
in about the same place as Highway 17 does.  Highway One is also narrow
and windy, but so is all roads across the mountains.  The pace is slower,
and there are places to pull over to let the faster traffic by.

There is a third alternative, going south on 101, and then crossing
the mountains on 156.  Morning and midday, this might be the fastest,
but in the afternoon, you will get a solid dose of bay-area bumper
to bumper traffic on 101.

Whatever route you choose, drive carefully.
