Castle Rock Hike

 On a brisk and calm third day in January, John and Lucy (a three-year old sweet Vizsla) came along on one of our normal 2-hour off- leash hikes.  This one was into the Diablo Foothills.  These are some of my favorite trails that are just south of our city of Walnut Creek.

We reached this overlook from the Lavorna Staging Area of the East Bay Regional Park and hiked about three miles in from there to the above lookout.  Much of the Castle Rock area is still wild and scenic. 

With the millions of people living in the Bay Area, these hidden treasures are there for everyone to enjoy.  Few do.  That's ok with Bailey, Chloe and me.  Happy trails in 2016.
