Hiking and climbing mountains inspired me into this life philosophy - LIFE IS A MOUNTAIN. Every step you make leads to summit. You may be forced to turn around or change routes for any cause, never know. But, stay focused and look forward. The mountain will be there always. Pace yourself and reach "your" summit, for every step counts. Enjoy the view and feed your soul as it comes along. Life is a journey, not a destination. Life is like climbing a mountain.....
Do
you know there's a little Yosemite not so far from the cities in the Bay Area?
You don't have to drive all the way to Yosemite National Park!
Sunol Regional Wilderness is just several miles from I-680 Freeway. The vast
open space and forests situated in the East Bay hills north of Silicon Valley
include rolling hills, hiking trails, rocks/boulder formations, rivers,
waterfalls and wildlife.
Whoever named it, Little Yosemite in Sunol offers a series of waterfalls, river
and impressive canyon views with big rocks and boulders. Although there's no
monolith like El Capitan or Half Dome, the journey to Little Yosemite offers a
pleasant hike that kids and family can enjoy.
Canyon View Trail is a good workout hike with some steep grade and it gets your
heart rate going no doubt. If you prefer easygoing hike, the wide dirt road
from the parking area is a good choice to hike to Little Yosemite.
