Bear Valley & Lake Alpine

Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park

I Routinely hike around the Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park. This beautiful hiking trail extends out to 5,271-acre parkland is on the oak-covered ridge overlooking Pleasanton and the Livermore Valley from the west. It is very common to spot deers, bobcats, mountain lions, rattle snakes and many more! Not only is hiking a great exercise but the beautiful scenery around the park makes it very enjoyable and well worth it. Inside the park, elevations exceed 1,600 feet. Their are many different trails you can take to hike.It takes about 3.5 hours to reach the top where the view is breathtaking. Keep in mind it will take another 3 hours to descend! At the peak of the mountain (as you can see from pictures below) it is beautiful. I recommend taking binoculars.

Alcatraz

Today me and my friend decided to visit Alcatraz. Alcatraz is also known as the "Rock". If you live here in the San Francisco Bay Area and havn't been here you should definitely visit. If you are from out of town, there is no question about it. You have to come visit. You will take a very short ferry ride which will take you straight to the island. Make reservations a couple weeks in advance especially during the summer peak season. This historical landmark is a must see! Al Capone the notorious Chicago Mobster spent time at Alcatraz. Tickets for Alcatraz are about $35 per person.
Can you Imagine yourself in there for more than 30 years?
