With the mild California winter on the wane, I was able to get in a hike the last two weekends.  A couple weekends ago I returned to Almaden Quicksilver Park.  On a very clear day, we could see all three of the Bay Area’s biggest cities- San Jose, San Francisco, and Oakland.  This was a long hike for me (6 miles, according to the gps), but was still an enjoyable day outside.

Last weekend, the parents were visiting and it was in the low 70s- great for early March.  We went for a hike in Santa Teresa County Park.    After misreading the map, we took a steeper trail than I had wanted to.  We all survived and enjoyed the good views.

Note there is now a link to a map showing the entire hike (found on the index pages). I’m still fine tuning the website presentation for this, so comments are welcome.  There are still map links from each photo page.

Photos from the hikes are here:
