Beautiful post-Christmas hike at Almaden Quicksilver

I caught a brilliant sunny day on my hike today – between the Christmas rain storm and another that is likely to arrive tomorrow. The grass is really starting to come up now, though you can’t tell from my black and white picture… ;-)

One of the great things about winter at this coastal hills park is that much of the grass has died away and it is now possible to travel cross-country. The ridge where this photo was taken is between two trails that I frequently use. I happened to notice a subtle “use trail” while walking on one of them and decided to follow it. It turned out to be a faint trail that provided an alternative to the fire road that I normally follow.
