A few city walks in San Francisco, which is not a flat place.

Several walks around the reservoir in Lafayette - the shore trail is 2.7 miles long, and fairly flat.

| This is what Leonie calls "heart attack hill" |
The rim trail is five miles long and involves climbing around 800 feet, some of which is exceeding steep.

We also walked with Brian, Leonie and the children along the Nimitz trail at Tilden Regional Park, where there are wide views over the Bay area.
And I walked from Moraga to Lafayette along the walking and cycle trail - again around four miles, and fairly flat.
That hill looks like a challenge for me! What a fabulous place, bet there's some great raptors to be seen up there. And butterflies too.
ReplyDeleteCertainly a few raptors, though I'm not sure exactly what. Butterflies? We saw a few - definitely one red admiral and one monarch in SF itself. The weather was actually quite cold at night - close to freezing once or twice.
ReplyDeleteThat hill is hard work, but feels dodgier going down!
At the moment I'd like to be that gopher snake and bask in that glorious sunshine! Lovely photos capture your memories.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm missing the light, and the daytime warmth - the evenings were quite chilly!
