Friday: (07/26) Friday hike day. I picked up fellow hikers at the train station and park and ride an met the rest of our hikers at the trail-head at the top of Pagemill Road. There are lots of trail options at Monte Bello Ridge Open Space Preserve. On our last hike here we hiked up to the top of Black Mountain. That hike is rather exposed and on a hot day not a good idea, even for the great views. We stayed down at the bottom of the canyon in the shade and enjoyed a nice 7.7 mile hike down the canyon and then back on the same trail.overall 3400 feet down and then the same back up with an actual elevation change of just 840 feet. Lots of little hills along the way. This was another of the hikes I lead. All hikers returned to or start point in generally the same conditions as they departed. I'm always amazed I don't loose more hikers. As usual On hike day, I relaxed the rest of the day. Breakfast was a ham Don McMuffin. Lunch was a ham and cheese sandwich. A chili baked potato with fresh salsa for dinner.
