Bollinger Canyon Panorama -- The trailhead is on the road at center, in the trees to the left. We'll be coming back from behind the ridge at the middle right.

Dayhike with Rich and the County Hikers. Rich, Dick, Bree, Heide, and I hiked at Las Trampas Ridge Regional Park, near Walnut Creek. Did we manage to dodge the rain? How about the mud? How about the poison oak? Check it out!

Frank Farmer > Before-hike trailhead picture. From left: Rich, Frank, and Dick. This image is so green, it looks like a fake backdrop at a photo studio. Other friends hiked with us this day, but wished to stay out of the photos.

Frank Farmer > We started with a brief stint on the Chamise Trail.

Frank Farmer > Rich leads the way uphill -- It's going to be a muddy day.

Frank Farmer > We left the Chamise Trail and joined the Mahogany Trail. The Chamise Trail goes up to the Last Trampas Ridge Trail, which we'll be hiking on a bit later.

Frank Farmer > Miner's Lettuce (shown) and poison oak are pretty much it for the plants I know. Many thanks to Rich, for identifying the others in this album.
