On Saturday, May 29, 2010, I and a coworker, Ak, hiked through Rancho San Antonio to the top of Black Mountain. I love living in the bay area, where a twenty minute drive can bring one to a trail with forests and mountains and with great views of valleys and water. Though we saw the best, most expansive vistas on the way up, where one could see down into and across the bay, I feel I should mention that from the top we could see the Pacific Ocean.
It was a fairly strenuous hike: 9 miles round trip and over two thousand feet elevation gain. Most of that gain came in two major steep sections.
We spotted a number of small lizards (which were well camouflaged when they stopped moving), a deer, and, of course, various squirrels and birds.
Sorry, no pictures.
