Recently, Ryder and I have done some hiking a bit closer to home: the Pearson-Arastradero Preserve<\/a> and Foothills Park<\/a>, both of which are run by the city of Palo Alto and are within a few miles of our home.<\/p>\n

Arastradero is mostly rolling grassland hills, with some views across the Bay.<\/p>\n

Foothills Park (at least the part we hiked) was more varied – steeper hills, a stream bed that looks like it will be quite active when it starts to rain again, and a nice assortment of flora. Plus, it’s start to look a bit like fall, with some leaves turning red!<\/p>\n

In all, we found Foothills Park to be a much more interesting place, and we’re looking forward to going back in the winter when the stream is running again.<\/p>\n

There are a few more photos of these two hikes here<\/a>. I also posted some photos from our Winck family reunion<\/a>, which involved more hiking and some pretty cool thunderstorms. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
