Barlow Road

The Bay Area Ridge Trail includes a 5.8-mile spur from the Woods Trail to the summit of Mount Umunhum. I had previously hiked up Umunhum on 29 October 2017, but I still needed to connect the Bald Mountain Trailhead with the Woods Trail. So I did that today. 1.9 miles of Ridge Trail both down and up, and then an additional 0.3 miles each way between the junction of Barlow Road with the Mount Umunhum Trail and the trailhead. Didn't see any mountain lions but did see some nice views of both Umunhum and San Jose.

I've already hiked the remaining extant South Bay sections of the Ridge Trail in this clockwise loop, so next time I'll be starting the Peninsula sections.
