Tilden Park: Wildcat Gorge Trail

Today we hiked a part of the Gorge Trail in Tilden, around 2 miles round trip. I've been on this trail several times, each time going farther, but had never made it all the way to Lake Anza. Today I did! We started at the Lone Oak picnic area - lots of parking and a bathroom. The trail winds up the hill along the creek and ends at Lake Anza, a favorite swimming area for kids. It was gradually up hill all the way, with a steep and slippery part at the very end. It's a beautiful trail and I'm glad I can make it all the way to the top now!

Here's a map of the entire trail.
