Here is a very brief trip report on our first hike of the Season, last Saturday, March 13. Eight hikers joined me for a wonderful hike in Benicia State Recreation Area. We hiked the entire park from one end to the other (7.4 miles) , sometimes on the blacktop trail and roads, but also on the improved trails that wind through the hills overlooking the Strait.
We enjoyed the cool breezes and blue skies. Checked out Dillon Po
int and the trails along the water to get there. The flock of egrets that has called the marshlands adjacent to Southhampton Bay home is still there.We went to Benicia State Rec. Area because after the heavy rain on Friday, the trails in Lynch Canyon would have been muddy and slippery -- not fun.
But where are all the guys? Eight hikers and no guys? Come on!
Hope to see you on a hike soon!
