Daddy Day Hike #4 - Bear Gulch in Woodside
Today was the long-awaited "make-up" day for April's Daddy Day Hike. This month, we traveled down to Woodside to hike the Bear Gulch Trail in Wunderlich park. As always, we followed the directions for the coveted "Best Hikes in San Francisco Bay" book which the girls gave Paul for Christmas. However, somehow, we took a wrong turn and didn't quite follow the correct trail. So, instead of the 2 mile hike we intended, we ended up taking one about 6 miles. The only downside was a bit of diaper rash as the girls sat longer than we expected. They hardly noticed, of course!
It was a nice hike anyhow, with groves of redwoods, grottos of sword-ferns and large carpets of forget-me-not flowers. Thickets of madrones and chapparrel sometimes part to amazing views of the and you can view South Bay. You can view our pictures here.
