A Sign of Spring
July 11th, 20071 sign of Spring: Our family visits the Sunol Regional Wilderness for our annual hike there.
For 9 months of the year we avoid hiking in the east bay because it is hot, the grass is brown and the views are uninspiring. But the spring rains bring a different story. The Sunol area livens with abundant wildflowers, flowing creeks and wildlife.

One trail, Indian Joe Creek, is especially beautiful and leads to an area of large, jumbled rocks. The girls love to scramble, climb and imagine at these rocks.
