New Hike at Calero Park

Today I hiked into an area at Calero Park that I had not visited before. From the entrance near the stable I headed out on the Figueroa Trail, then turning left onto the Cañada Del Oro trail. I took the cut-off from this trail to the Bald Peaks Trail. Turning right I followed this trail for a short distance past the upper junction with the Cañada Del Oro trail to look at an interesting grove of oaks, before returning via Cañada Del Oro.
I ran out of time on this ridge top – otherwise I would have either done the Serpentine Loop Trail at the very south end of the park, or else I would have continued west-northwest on the Bald Peaks trail and finally looped back via the Javelina trail.

(Note: I had originally – and ignorantly – identified these birds as “hawks.” My friend Tom Clifton tells me that these are actually turkey vultures, based on the wing shape.)
