Vargas Plateau Regional Park
May. 27th, 2023 06:36 pmGot sixty dollars' worth of comics in Fremont today, then headed up I-680 for a bit of hiking in Vargas Plateau Regional Park. The objective, as is usual these days, was a couple miles on the Bay Area Ridge Trail. The first 0.71 miles along the Golden Eagle Trail were kind of boring, with limited views (what there was is Bay-facing, and that's a ways off) and too many people. But once I turned off to Upper Ranch Trail the views opened up to Sunol Ridge and other Diablo Range ridges, the people thinned out, and the hike was actually pretty nice. I felt surprisingly winded after the last stretch, which I really shouldn't have been. Need to push myself harder because I'm clearly out of shape for proper mountains.
