Miller-Knox

Yesterday we spent time in the hills at Miller-Knox park. This is a great little park tucked away in Pt. Richmond, surrounded by houses and industry. There's a beach and playground and big picnic area and across the road you can hike in the hills. That's where we headed.

This hike was a push for me, even though it was only about 2.25 miles, because of the hills but I took my time and it was great! We started at the trailhead by the Richmond Ramblers and headed out Old Country Road Trail toward West Ridge Point. Then we took The West Ridge and Crest trails back to Nicholl Knob. We definitely needed our map because most of the trail signs are broken.

 I couldn't have done this hike a year ago but now? Yay! This time of year the trail itself isn't that beautiful - everything's brown and dry. Other times of the year there will be wildflowers galore, so we'll be back. The great thing about this park is the view. Every few steps you see another gorgeous view of the bay or the hills.

Also, be sure to stop at the Model Railroad Museum if it's open. So much fun!
