Hiking on Russian Ridge

Posted on 05/05/2012 by Andrew Reynolds

Today we went hiking up on Russian Ridge.  This is part of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District.  It is one of our favorite places to hike because of the great views you can get from the top of Borel Hill.  We haven’t been hiking as much as we use to, my treatments really got in the way of that, but I am getting better all the time and we’re making an effort to get back to the trails.

There is a lot I could write about but I’ll save that for tomorrow’s post.  Today I just wanted to share what a great day we had hiking by posting a few pictures of the day.  Heather took these with her new camera.  Enjoy.

    This is one of my favorite places to hike. The views are just wonderful. But its a ‘winter’ trail for us. By the summer it will be too exposed and dry for our tastes and we’ll shift to our ‘summer’ hikes in the deep redwood forests.
