It was Sunol Ohlone Park this Saturday. Following my roommate, Sankari's expert advice, we decided to go to Sunol instead of Monte Bello. It was a good decision. Sunol is very pretty. It is a short (less than 30 mins) drive along I-280 to the county park. The trail is the usual...some trees and rocks initially. It climbs steadily and it leads to a rock outcrop at the summit. Standing there, it's rolling hills. Everywhere. All around you. As far the eye can see. And with the smooth soothing rays of the setting sun, it was ethereal. A moment. You feel glad to be alive, to be able to witness such beauty. We shake ourselves out of it and begin the descent, we need to get down by nightfall. Lunch (or whatever) followed. At 6PM. Awesome chowmein and string beans!
