Hacienda Oaks

I took a different trail today at Almaden Quicksilver Park. Instead of heading straight up Mine Hill, I turned right at the English Camp Trail cutoff and followed the Hacienda Trail to Capehorn Pass.

Although this trail ended up in the same place (Capehorn Pass) it seemed considerably longer and it included a lot more climbing. Since the start of the trail drops away from the Mine Hill trail and then climbs above it near Capehorn Pass, it may involve an extra 100 feet or so of climbing. It is also quite a bit steeper in places.
