Yesterday was one of "those" days in San Francisco: brilliant, abundant sunshine; perfect temps in the high 60's; gentle breezes....in other words, absolute perfection! So what did I do? I cancelled all my plans (hahahaha) and set out to one of my favorite haunts for a contemplative, refreshing, life affirming hike.
There are several things I love about hiking San Bruno Mountain: (1) it's within walking distance from my apartment, (2) it's lilting, cursive, tree canopied pathways remind me of home - Jodi, tell me those sun-dappled, pastoral roadways don't remind you of Waterstreet and Belfance Roads back home!, (3) there's a lovely little orchard-like picnic area where you can stop and read and have your snack and (4) there's an amazing pay off - sweeping views of San Francisco, the Bay Bridge and beyond.
I wish you could hike it with me, maybe one day you will, but for now here's a couple of snaps for you to enjoy and you can hike it with me in spirit!
And the "Money-Shot":
I can't believe that's within walking distance of you...the more I see of your locale the more I want to come visit!
