Hiking the San Francisco Bay Area

684ft From the trailhead to the junction with Priest Rock Trail is a mere 2.2 miles. Uphill miles, mind you. Yet, no big deal compared to what we usually do. Unusually, though is that the whole group stopped for a break at less than 2 miles. I did not feel like a break, so continued to the junction and hiked back to meet up with the group. They were not too far behind and most were busy in conversation., Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve, Los Gatos, California, September 05, 2020, 09:56
