South Peak by Embudito Trail
A very nice short day hike! From the beginning, you’re very fast out of the city and all on your own. But there are always some people hiking you can talk with!
In the last part, from the intersection Embudito – South Peak up to the summit, I’ve been surprised by the wind and got pushed against the rocks a couple of times. But it was definitely worth it, as the view from up there is just breath-taking; you can see miles away in almost every direction.
That was my last hike in the Sandias before flying back home, and probably one of the best ones!
With the bike on the Golden Gate Bridge
Last day in SF but still so much to see… It’s time to take the bike, faster than on foot!
Luckily for me Caltrain is very well equipped in bike transportation – taking his bike on the train is free! From the Train station, I take the Bay Trail again, but this time I cross the Golden Gate Bridge. Once on the other side, I cycle up a few bends before going all the way down to Sausalito and it’s boat houses. Then, after crossing the bridge again, I cycle along the coast to Land’s End, then south, through the Golden Gate Park and back to the train station.
Pinnacles National Park
Amateur (ou peut-être pas…) de grimpe, voici votre prochaine destination! Petit parc national très peu connu, Pinnacles se trouve à 1h30 de route de San José. Et pour s’y rendre, nous avons traversé la “charmante” petite ville qu’est Hollister (oui je sais que la marque de ce nom reflète un esprit détendu et le style surf du sud de la Californie…) Pourtant lieu d’habitat pour de nombreuses espèces dont les vautours et les condors (par ailleurs difficiles à distinguer), je n’en ai malheureusement pas vu, peut-être dû à la saison de reproduction.
