Five of us wandered out from the Castle Rock rec area thru Pine Canyon on a lovely fall day...crisp to start, never more than pleasantly warm. We got to the Mt Diablo gate a little after 10 so saw no need to turn around there. That was a good thing as all the "color" on the walk was on the other side of the gate. Almost 3.5 miles
Five of us walked from the Valle Vista Staging area on Kings Canyon Tr. We walked for an hour and turned around as it was getting quite warm (hot) unless you were in the shade. The water is quite low in the reservoir and everything is showing the signs of drought. Three miles.
Another week with just four of us walking. It was a gray day, cool and good for walking. 3.5 miles.
A beautiful day to be out and moving. There were just four of us walking in the wonderful quiet of Mitchell Canyon today. No tarantulas but plenty of birds (flickers, jays, a humming bird); no clematis seed heads, but color on some of the grapes, lots of red PO, and we found the vinegar weed :-) 3.8 miles
