Long Ridge: Peters Creek Trail

Down along the creek are some interesting views, especially in the Spring when the foliage is out. The stark brooding look that haunts some overcast Winter days gives way to green grass and amazing sprays of new growth.

Still bare after winter. The Spring flush of growth.

The trail along this end of Peters Creek is nice and dark. It is also part of the Bay Area Ridge Trail.

This section of the trail is in shade all day long.

There are plenty of more places to visit and trails to hike in Long Ridge Open Space: Hickory Oaks Trail, Ward Road, School Road and Ranch Spring Trail. I avoid this park when the cyclists are there, hopefully I'll get there next winter.

Russian Ridge, further north of Long Ridge, might be an interesting comparison.
