400!
400! I surpassed my 365 Mile Challenge and keep on going. 365 Mile Challenge
Although I have been kept off the trail for the past two weeks because of the unhealthy, smoky air here in Northern California, I am thinking of my fellow Californians who have lost so much in the horrible wildfires in our state.
Rainy weather cleaned our air and I was able to get out on the Los Gatos Creek Trail…

2017 - The Big 65
The Big 65 #findyourpark @altForestServ @mrosd @OpenSpaceSCC @SCCParks @52HikeChallenge #aroo
It is fitting that I begin with the end in mind. This is a shot from hike number 65 of 2017. I’ve never hiked this much in my life…or, taken as many pictures. This shot was taken at the high point of the Folger Ranch Loop Trail in the newly opened La Honda Creek Open Space Preserve in the mountains of San Mateo County. My longest hike: La Honda Creek Open Space Preserve – I hiked the…

Photography Challenge: Scale
Photography: Developing Your Eye II – Scale My post today is in response to the WordPress Photo Challenge: “Today, play with scale: use anything and everything — from your Chihuahua to your Mini Cooper — to convey size in your image.” In this shot, I used the scale of the hiker in the foreground to compare to the height of the Mt. Umunhum Tower in the background. The tower is 5 stories tall. …

Photography: Developing Your Eye II – Mystery My post today is in response to WordPress Photo Challenge: “Today, share an image that creates a sense of mystery.” I took this shot with my iPhone 7 on the Mt. Umunhum Trail in the Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve. An early morning shot, the sun is rising but not seen in the upper left-hand corner of the picture. I like how there are splashes of…

Photography: Developing Your Eye – “Warmth” I took this shot on the Mt. Umunhum Trail in the Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve on a short out-and-back hike I took last night. I was hoping to catch same good early evening sun light at the Guadalup Creek Overlook. However, I started just a bit too late. However, I did capture some good light along the trail. I took this shot with my iPhone 7. I…

The Thursday Picture - Tracking
The Thursday Picture – Tracking
Today’s Thursday Picture was taken on my hike at the very scenic, and very wet, Calero County Park. I must’ve seen 6 or 7 black tailed deer while on the trail. I also saw a lot of black tailed deer tracks on the muddy trails. And….several tracks made this other animal. It looks like a 6′ 3″ older white guy who has big feet 😀 So, where are you hiking this weekend? If you’re looking for me, I’m…

Today’s Thursday Picture was taken on the Tony Look Trail in Stevens Creek County Park. I like the bright green of spring against the gray of winter in this picture. This is my first hike as part of the “PixInParks” challenge. The “Magnificent Seven” make up the hikes in the Pix in Parks challenge… They are: Lookout Point in Villa Montalvo Park Tony Look Trail in Stevens Creek County Park John…

Longest Hike: Pinnacles National Park = 9.5 Miles Greatest total elevation gain: Mission Peak, East Bay Regional Parks = 2,047 feet! Talles Trees: Big Basin Redwoods State Park Best spot to hike along a creek on a cloudy…

52
Wow. I did it. 52 hikes in one year. Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve, one of my favorite places to hike, was just spectacular yesterday! I pushed myself to get outside on many of my hikes. But, once on the trail, I easily fell into my hiking rhythm. I took some good pictures too. Well, most of them were ok. Most of all, Given the choice, I opted to get outside. There is a lot of trail…

Buzzards Roost and the 52 Hike Challenge
Buzzards Roost! #52hikechallenge @PinnaclesNPS @CAStateParks @LosGatosPPW #hiking #California
I can see the finish line. It’s kind of like standing on the trail looking up at the summit. In this picture, the summit is reaching Buzzard’s Roost at Big Basin Redwoods State Park. The hike to Buzzard’s Roost is a fairly challenging 5 mile round trip hike with well over 1,000 feet of elevation gain. Challenging….but, not too crazy. This hike is similar to the 52 Hike Challenge. The 52 Hike…

Oops
Because it never hurts to laugh at yourself… Hiking and photography was sometimes an adventure for me in 2016! Ha! I have no idea… Luckily, my SD card holds a lot of images… If you’re looking for me, I’m over the hill.

Thursday Picture - Sweeney Ridge! #hiking #52hikechallenge @GoldenGateNPS @NatlParkService
Today’s Thursday Picture was taken on the Sweeney Ridge Trail that is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Located on the San Francisco Peninsula, I like hiking here when it is warm in Silicon Valley. I can almost always count on a cool sea breeze here when I hike in the late afternoon. The views of the Pacific Ocean are spectacular! This was Hike #40 in my 52 Hike Challenge for…

Today’s Thursday Picture was taken at Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve in the Santa Cruz Mountains. This “Trail selfie” was taken on the Priest Rock Trail – AKA “the grinder.” This was also hike #27 of my 52 hike challenge. I finished hike #47 in the Santa Cruz Mountains above my home here in California. I am very thankful to have so many trails provided by Santa Clara County Parks, Los Gatos…

Thursday Picture - Up early in the Mountains #california #hikingthetrail #iphone @mrosd
Sometimes, we start pretty early around here. I had to meet a contractor this morning at La Honda Creek Open Space Preserve. We’re working on several projects in order to get the preserve ready to open to visitors in the future. Hiking is currently allowed by permit. Check here to apply for your permit. So, where are you hiking this weekend? If you’re looking for me, I’m over the hill.
