"Started out just outside of downtown Los Gatos and hopped onto the LG Creek trail for an easy cruise out to the reservoir. Short road walk to the Limekiln trailhead with numerous trucks motoring by loaded with gravel. Up to the Bay Ridge trail where I had to make the decision to head back to Alma Bridge road, over Priest Rock, as I was short on time. Back to the reservoir I hopped onto the Jones trail then did quick ascent to the view from St Josephs Hill before dropping down to the Flume trail and onto the creek trail. Next time I’ll be more civilized and stop in for a latte and pastry first." — Nimblefoot • Dec 20, 2022
"On this 25th day of Vertober finally made it to El Sombroso, #30 of 31 for me in the Bay Area Classic Peaks Challenge. Perfect conditions — not too hot — and was surprised to find several shaded sections. Started running tight on time so we ran a few sections on the way back (and opted not to take the other trail variations to save time). Don’t do this one for the summit views, do it for some good ole fashioned fire road climbing. " — scott • Oct 25, 2022
