Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve

5.8 miles each way, about 1600 feet of net elevation gain along the Woods Trail. Parked at Woods Road in Almaden Quicksilver Regional Park and spent just under five hours on the trail, at which point I linked up with my previous Bay Area Ridge Trail track on a December 2016 ascent of El Sombroso. Minimal views of the Bay Area along the way but some decent views of Umunhum.

Sights of interest: A few turkeys, and a bunch of trail runners (who turned off onto the Barlow Road Trail, leaving the rest of the hike pretty quiet).

The good version of this post got eaten by an inadvertent back button since apparently Dreamwidth's autosave still doesn't work.
