It should not be this difficult to escape this city. Since moving here in July, I have been desperate to find good hiking around the area. Looking back, I'm kinda embarassed that it was only a google search away, but I found some incredible hiking in the San Jose Area. In fact, some just a few miles from where I work. I woke up at 7 am so I could get great light. Decided the light could wait, hit my snooze, and slept till 11 (I love vacation). It was the most beautiful winding road, passing fields of wild-flowers, deer and cattle grazing, streams, a few bikers who thought they owned the road, and some narrow roads with uncompromising drivers.
However, I finally got there and absolutely knew it was worth the drive. I had a few scary moments of almost falling into the river and ruining my new camera, slipped on a bridge, and came very close to some poison oak. I decided to take the Uvas Canyon waterfall loop. We've had a lot of rainfall lately (and some snow), so I knew the streams would have quite a bit of water in them. It definately was not the best work I have ever done, but man I am so thankful I found some places to hike and photograph.
