This was a repeat of a walk Elaine led last May. The Vaca Creek trail at Stonegate was the first of the properties protected by the (then) Martinez Regional Land Trust. Almond Ranch on the ridge is one of the more recent John Muir Land Trust (current name) acquisitions. It was good to connect the two. One of the few other people we met was a mountain biker who said she loved being able to ride clear from Martinez into Briones.
We had a good sized group today...13 hikers and 3 dogs. We started from the Briones-Pine Tree Trail parking lot on Alhambra Valley Rd and followed Vaca Creek Tr to Hal Olson Tr and up to the ridge which is part of Almond Ranch. Marvelous views, beautiful clouds and even a few flowers. 4 miles
