Our first hike of 2018 was on the McCosker Loop Trail recently opened as an addition to Sibley RP. 10 of us made the hilly walk and got back to the cars just as the much anticipated rain began. It is a short hike (just over 2 miles) with plenty of altitude change to make it seem longer. It was a good outing for a cool day; there is little shade, so it isn't a good hike for summer. Nice views!
Eastport was the first station on the east side of the hills for the Sacramento-Northern run. The tunnel emerged just under the sharp hairpin turn on Pinehurst Rd (where the trail to Huckleberry starts).
