Completed a loop hike in Whiting Ranch Regional Park. The hike started and ended at the eastern staging area off Glenn Ranch Rd. The old ranch road went all the way to the edge of the summit, but the official high point is to the right of the road a few yards away. There were signs posted all along the road indicating these last few yards were off limits. I respected the sign and stayed off the official high point (besides, local mountain bikers were sitting on a bench right there and were watching me as I was gazing at the high point just off the road). Since I was as close as I was allowed to get to the top, I take credit for being there, since it would have been an easy get in all other cases.
