Its almost time for the Ohlone trip. Did a little hike the other day @ Redwood Park(Oakland) after an amazing hail storm at home(Castro Valley). My two fellow hikers were my Daughter Gabrielle & her friend Tyler. We started down the East ridge trail w/ threatening skys & drizzle coming down. Lucky for us the skys opened up to the sun W/ some awesome looking clouds. We ventured down Prince trail towards the valley. The main stream was following at max potential w/ smaller side creeks feeding it. It was quite a sight to see. We start to climb out of Redwood tree filled valley up the French trail. Once to the top of French, we take West ridge back to Skyline gate. A short 4 mile hike w/ really cool trees, ferns, creeks and plants that would make a Botanist go insane. This park is true treasure.
