Today we discovered a gem in our backyard, the Sunol Regional Park. After running 9.5 miles around Lake Chabot in the morning, we headed to Sunol in the afternoon for a 7.5 mile hike up into the hills. We didn’t know what to expect and quickly found ourselves scrambling up the trail to beautiful lookout points.
On the fifth of February, we stood at the high point of our hike, looking west to San Francisco, nearly 50 miles away. California may be broken and overtaxed, but it would be hard to find a more beautiful place to live in the dead of winter.
