In another of our "Further Afield" trail walks we headed to the charming hamlet of Brisbane for an 11.5 mile hike UP San Bruno Mountain. And it was up, indeed!

Lizelle IS wondering why she got up so early to drive down from Vacaville to hike this monster! Slow & steady wins the race. The first part up the trail was really steep and the wind was blowing against us.  One foot in front of the other.

Getting to the top of the first of many inclines on our way toward the summit.

Oh, did I mention we were walking mostly in white out fog? You could hear people talking right behind you but you could not see each other 5 feet away. And it was that wet, heavy fog so after a short while we were all damp and dripping!

Only 2.5 miles to the summit! Eeeek! MORE slow & steady uphill climbing.

We finally hit the summit and headed down the Summit Loop Trail.

So lush and green here from the almost daily fog cover. Lots of pretty wildflowers too!

After a quick break and the 3 mile addition of  the Saddle Loop Trail we headed down, and looking across the road we could see the Ridge Trail we tackled a short while earlier. REALLY amazing!!

Heading down Guadalupe Canyon Road... with the sun on our backs all of the way back to the end! 

What an amazing walk. Everyone did so well for such an "arduous" walk as Judy called it. Over 1,100 vertical feet of climbing in the first 4 miles. WOW! 

THIS WEEK'S MAP QUOTES

Unexpected intrusions of beauty. This is what life is. Saul Bellow 

We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit. E.E Cummings
