I hiked the usual trail at Almaden Quicksilver Country Park this morning - out on the Randol trail and then up a lateral to reach the ridge trail to Bull Run, and back to New Almaden.
Today was the day that you wait for all winter. The hills are covered in green grass just starting to to to seed, wild flowers are everywhere, you hear the sound of running water from last week’s rain.
I would usually take about two hours to complete this hike but today I spent over 3 hours soaking it all in.
