&Earlier I wrote that I like to go on a New Years Day hike. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate this year. Then we did some family stuff before my kids headed back to school. Then I headed back to a busy first week of a new term at the college. By the time I finally found time for a “New Years Hike” the first month of the new year was a third gone.
But it was a beautiful day for a hike at Almaden Quicksilver yesterday.

Amazingly, there are still colorful leaves in January, side-by-side with new growth.

Forested section of the Prospect #3 trail

Fog clears from the Mt. Umunhum ridge.
