We decided to do one of the extra weekday hikes this evening. Tonight's adventure was at Rancho San Antonio, travelling up the PG&E trail, so named because of the electrical towers that parallel the trail up the mountain.
This was a good hill to climb, but definitely not as bad as some of the hills we've walked, such as the Peterson Trail at Sanborn County Park. The scenery was also beautiful. We made it as far as the PG&E Vista, about 1.9 miles. Then we turned back and looped down the Wildcat Loop trail, which was several switchbacks down to the valley floor. We met up at the High Meadow trail and continued that down to Deer Hollow Farm and back to the entrance to the park.
We had grasslands and chapparal microclimates on the way up, and oak and redwood forest on the way down. Quite a change in scenery, but it kept things interesting. We made it back to the car and then went off for dinner at Whole Foods.
