Trails
After a long break, we did back to back trails this weekend. Alum Rock is a beautiful park in San Jose with about 13 mi of trails. We started out with the Eagle Rock trail that ascends about 750 ft to lead you upto the Eagle Rock where you can see nice big eagles gliding in the sky with the city in the distance. You can spot deers too. We continued on the North Rim trail for a while, which led us to the Todd Quick trail. This is a nice slim trail with long grass on either side. The trail is a loop that ascends and descends rather quickly. On Sunday, we did our usual Stanford Dish trail. Located in the Stanford campus this is a well frequented and paved trail. A 3.5 mi round trip with an elevation gain of about 500 ft. Nice and easy. You get to see the 2 dishes, and various views of the city beneath. We debated our way through. Oh Summer, where art thou?
