Augustin Bernal Community Park / Pleasanton Rige ~ Long trail near a downtown

今回のハイキングのビデオです!


Augustin Bernal Community Park

   This is a park managed by City of Pleasanton.   It is next to Pleasanton Ridge Reginal Park.   I guess not many people know this is a long trail more than 20 miles.  People usually starts a trail head near Foothill Rd.  However, I did not have much time today, I just started from Augustin Bernal Community Park to save 6 miles.

  If you are a resident in Pleasanton, they you can go to a parking lot after nice residence area with showing your ID.  If you are from other city, you need to get a permit in advance.   For detail, you can see a brochure of the park.

  Then, you can short-cut and easy to reach the main ridge from the parking lot.  It is about 6 mile shorter than the regular trail hed.

If you go further, very few people hike there.

   Most of people turn around when they reach the main ridge where is about 2 mile from the parking lot.   However, the trail is continue further.  On the ridge, it is really nice view to cities.   Due to a private property in the middle of the trail, people need to detour and up and down in a few sections.  But people can see various view and probably enjoy the hiking.

  There is no shade on the ridge, but once people descends a little, there is some shade and people can work in shade.

   It is still early September, but Poison Oak eaves start changing color.

   It is a nice trail near town and people can enjoy a long hiking.  I really like this trail and recommend to other people!
