It's an Exciting World

We hiked black mountain today, which is the mountain that the PG&E trail is on.  It also is the mountain that has the rancho san antonio space preserve.  The hike went really well and we did it in a little over 4.5 hours.  The top was really cold and in the clouds.  The view wasn’t that great since it was in clouds, but it was really amazing.

Every Trail Link

Stephanie and I hiked mission peak today, and it was really nice out.

The views from the top were phenomenal, but there was a lot of smog across the bay.

Stephanie was having trouble due to allergies and being really tired.

Today Nick, Steph, and I went to Big Basin state park for a 10 mile hike along the Berry Creek Falls Trail.

The hike was gorgeous and I reallu enjoyed it. The trees are so massive and the burned out hollows ibt the middle of the trees is pretty impressive also.

There were a ton of banana slugs. Steph was super exited fir the first few but they were so frequent that she soon stopped pointing them out.

The falls themselves were very pretty and unique. There were three big sets of falls.

We had lunch at the first set of falls.

The second set of falls had a slippery path that wound down the top to the bottom. It was a little frightening but not too bad.

The Berry Creej Falls was the last large waterfall. It was just slightly the largest but I thought the first set was the prettiest.

At the end of the 10 mile loop were the biggest trees. The one above has a full sized tree coming off the trunk halfway up and it looks like a branch up against the main trunk.
