4/28 Fernandez Ranch and 4/21 Donner Cyn

 4/28 Fernandez Ranch



Nine of us and two very well behaved dogs enjoyed the quiet of Fernandez Ranch on a warm, bright day. Things are getting terribly dry and open areas were "crunchy" under foot. Luckily this loop has lots of shade and most of the sunny bits are downhill. Under 2.75 miles

4/21 Donner Cyn


It was a small group today, just 8 of us. But it was a glorious day to be out on "our" mountain. We parked and the end of  Montaire Pkwy and headed out Donner Canyon. Then we took Heatherington Tr from the creek crossing by the Donner Cabin site, Donner Tr, a bit of Wasserman, Bruce Lee Springs and finally Clayton Oaks. We had lunch on a shady bank up on Clayton Oaks Rd. There were some very good flowers as well as a reminder of how dry the winter has been and how stressed much of the plant communities are. But it was nice to have easy creek crossings :-). About 3.75 miles
