A walk in Tilden park, II

A view of San Pablo reservoir from Wild cat peak.

From Wild cat peak, a short hike takes you to the Nimitz way which ends at 'inspiration point'.

Power cables.

After Inspiration point, I took the meadows canyon trail. A 1.43 mile hike back to the nature area.

In total, the hike was about 5 miles/8 km (Peak trail, Nimitz way Meadows Canyon trail) and had a height difference of about 700 feet (and 700 down of course). It took me about 2 hours, with some rest at the Wild cat peak. Not to bad for an overweight ex-smoker I would say ... 

A walk in Tilden park,I

I had a walk today in Tilden Park. The weather was nice as well as the scenery. Here some pictures:


This picture is taken at the start of the Sylvan/Peak trail, just after Jewel lake.
Not sure if these are juniper berries. I doubt it.

Not sure what this is either. Looks like a big dried up 'distel'

On the top of wild cat peak, this nice bird was about his business. 

Hey, don't disturb me! I am rebuilding a protein model!
