A marvelous outing thanks to Elaine! about 5 miles, tho it didn't seem that far. This is an amazing property which is owned by the Solano Land Trust. Lots of birds, very quiet, wonderful views!

Las Trampas Ridge

Shirley was back and  led us on a hike out of Bollinger Canyon to the green slopes of Las Trampas Peak There were only a few flowers, but lots of birds and amazing views from Mt Davidson and Sutro Tower to Mt. Tam, Mt. St. Helena, the Delta and east to Mt Diablo and south to the peaks southwest of Livermore.

WC Open Space

With rain forecast we did the short walk in the Shell Ridge area of the Walnut Creek Open Space which was rained out last week. The start was at the end of Sutherland Drive off Walnut Blvd; the loop is just under 3 miles and mostly fairly level (not flat, just undulating); it wasn't even too muddy.
