the route thereafter until completion of the railroads within the state. Pacheco Pass is registered as California Historical Landmark #829. Nearby features There are no major communities between Gilroy in the Santa Clara Valley and Los Banos in the Central Valley. There are no other major crossings of the Diablo range farther south until they are crossed again by California State Route 198 at an unnamed pass some to the south. The next highway crossing of the range to the north is on California State Route 130 over Mount Hamilton, approximately to the north, but this is much less heavily used than the Altamont Pass even farther north. On the west side of the pass lies Casa de Fruta, an extensive trading post in the valley of Pacheco Creek. Originally a site devoted to selling locally produced fruit and nuts to travelers, Casa de Fruta has expanded to include a delicatessen, truckstop, RV park, and other facilities. Casa de Fruta is the current home of the Northern California Renaissance Faire, which takes place in September and October each year. A rural locale named Bell Station also lies along the route, between Casa de Fruta and the pass. On the eastern slope of the pass lies the San Luis Reservoir, which stores water for the Central Valley Project and the California State Water Project. The San Luis Reservoir and O'Neill Forebay operate with the 424 MW Gianelli Power Plant pumped storage hydroelectric plant. The roadway entrances to the San Luis Reservoir state recreational area and Pacheco State Park require caution entering or exiting because there are no stop signs or traffic lights and two lanes of heavy traffic in each direction. Pacheco State Park extends to the south of the pass from its entrance on Dinosaur Point Road near the pass. There is a small 16 MW windfarm with 162 turbines located at the top of the pass that can be seen from Dinosaur Point Road. It is being repowered to 147 MW with a 50 MW / 200 MWh grid battery. The Pacheco Pass American Viticultural Area is nearby. California High-Speed Rail Pacheco Pass has been selected as the route that the California High-Speed Rail will take between the Bay Area and the Central Valley. The rail line is planned to travel under the pass in the Pacheco Pass Tunnel, which upon completion are expected to become North America's longest
