I go, I see, I do, I walk, I think, I like…

Post-Thanksgiving hike

Lots of people were out hiking and biking at Almaden Quicksilver Park this morning – likely working off yesterday’s turkey dinner or getting ready for today’s leftovers.

I started out on one of my typical loops but decided, on the spur of the moment, to try a side trail that I’ve always walked past. It forks left from the main lower trail (Randol?) a bit after the Capehorn Pass junction and heads to the right, climbing and contouring and then climbing again to join the Mine Hill trail above the English Camp cutoff. From there I headed up to the top of the ridge.

After leaving the summit I headed back along Castillero and again left the main trail to go exploring, this time turning right just before the buildings near the summit to travel down the trail to the new parking lot on Hicks Road.
