Woods Road Hike

Today’s hike followed a different route that bypassed some of the more popular trails that I often follow at Almaden Quicksilver. I began by ascending the Deep Gulch Trail, a steep but direct route to English Camp. I often descend this route but rarely climb it.

Above English Camp I took the footpath to the ridge rather than following the dirt road. I traversed below the old mill and then headed down the Woods Road Trail, with the intention of getting to the parking lot at the end of the trail. However, I ended up in a pretty meadow where I spent time taking picures of new undergrowth and old oak trees.

I reversed the route to get back to my car at the Hacienda entrance.
