The weather forecast was so uncertain and the sky so gray that we stayed close to "home" today. Jennifer suggested Shell Ridge and that turned out to be an excellent choice.
We started from the Sutherland Dr entrance, walked east and then down the steep section to the pond, back up to Briones Rd, then east again and south to the junction with Indian Creek Trail which we took back to Fossil Hill. There was a good sized group (15 + 2 dogs). Enough of us wore rain jackets that the clouds were just dramatic and didn't get us wet. 2.5 miles
For those of you who remember the lavish displays of native wildflowers on the hillside just inside the gate, you will be as sad as we were to know that it is now fenced with restricted access. There had been too many careless people wandering thru the flowers, trampling plants, all for social media photo ops :-(
