Decided to get in a quick hike that ended up not being quite so quick but I'm not sure as I felt like I was picking up the pace

. Anyway, I went clockwise starting UP to the Summit Saddle; guided a hiker on how to hit the summit but I went back down a little ways to use the trail below the summit heading east. I wanted to investigate the far reaches of the eastern side of the preserve. I ended up on what looked like to be an old trail and I took it until it petered out so I cross countried just a bit to catch the main trail.

Instead of going west on the main trail I headed south and then a little east and south by the houses over here. I've never been down in this area before. I passed by a little monolith and then some circular depressions in the ground before reaching a park at the SE corner. It's a very nice park. From there I ended UP heading north until I joined back up with the main lower part of the main trail where I circled to the west side and around and back to the TH. Quite a few hikers out this afternoon. @BobP isn't our mountain so green right now. Not much blooming other than almost every brittlebush.

Oh, and once in awhile, don't forget to look back at the trail you've traveled.
