| Up the hill on the Boccardo Loop Trail |

I call this post "Gathering Place" because Alum Rock Park has been and continues to be a place for folks to gather and enjoy a picnic and hike since 1872! We ambled near smoky barbecues and tables heavily laden with food and drink.
Molly, Janene, and I made our way up the hill on Sunday the 22nd for another great day on the Bay Area Ridge Trail. The wildflowers are hidden now by the tall grasses, so the spectacular spring show is nearing completion, but the clouds and distant bay views were beautiful as usual. Compared to the last leg on Mission Peak, this hike was quiet and with many fewer other hikers.
Rather than making one through-hike, we broke this walk into two round trips, partly due to the lack of parking at the eastern terminus of the Sierra Vista trail.
We finished this walk on June 5, starting and ending at the staging area on Sierra Road. Peter, Janene, Julia, Kirsten, Richard, and David joined us on this half.
