Sometimes, when I turn a corner on a trail, out in some densely forested park or open space district, I catch a glimpse of the City. It is at these times that I realize how lucky we are to have these wild areas so close and accessible to all of us that live in Silicon Valley.

This shot was taken from the Santa Rosa Open Space in Los Gatos, California. The shot is of downtown San Jose, the tenth largest city in the United States.

Where are you hiking this weekend?

If you are looking for me, I’m over the hill!
