2006-03 - CastleRock Hike

Yesterday (03/04/06) I finally started on my hiking season for this year. Decided to go to the SanBorn Trail in Saratoga.

I was supposed to meet a few more folks at the Sunnyvale Mountain Parking lot at about 8:30 AM; I was a bit late reaching there (9AM) but didn't see any cars there. The parking lot has space for not more than 5 or 6 cars.

I waited for 5-10 minutes but no one else showed up. I think those guys either went to a different trailhead or I mis-understood the directions. Nevertheless, I decided to go ahead.

This year Bayarea is seeing some snow; last time I saw snow was about 5 years back in 2000-2001. It had snowed on Friday. I met a few guys shoveling snow in their truck; they were taking the snow home for their kids to play. :))

I took the skyline trail going south. It was a very short half mile hike oneway. So after I returned, I continued to the other direction for another 1.5 mile.
The trail is relatively very easy with no views of the valley. I didn't go till the CastleRock, so don't know if one can see the valley from there.

Next time :)
