from Rhus Ridge Trailhead
Lucky to find a parking space at the tiny Rhus Ridge Trailhead. Pleasant meandering hike to the (crowded) summit on a somewhat hot day. Nice views.

Nice Loop
I'm glad I was successful, because this park is way too crowded for me. I was lucky to find a parking spot at sunrise- 6:45am. No bathrooms at trailhead. No privacy along the trail. Creativity is obligatory.
Up via PG & E trail; down via Upper and Lower Meadows Trails. Outstanding views of the southern Bay Area.

Loop hike from Rhus ridge
It was a nice hike on a moist, cloudy day. (Up on Rhus ridge and black mountain trail, down on the quarry trail, upper meadow trail, etc.)

Many times
I've been up here more times than I can count but I'm pretty sure this is the date of my first summit. Gotta log it...

Nice run
Have done this many times, most recently with my older son. The peak is just the highest bump on a ridge, but the hike from Rhus ridge makes for a long, beautiful workout run. Rhus ridge parking is very small; we had to park at Foothill college about a mile away.

Morning Hike
Came from the Monte Bello trailhead. It was pretty crowded for the middle of winter. It's a good way to start a morning, especially in the winter when everything is moist. Good views of the Diablo range and the south bay. Did some other hills in the area before I got rained on.

This was a summit?
Apparently we reached the top, but it was more of a bump.
