Combination motorcycle ride and hike today. Road a couple of the 3 Bears, turned around at San Pablo and went to the Briones Pine Tree trailhead off Alhambra Valley Road. This was my first time entering Briones from this location. Very pleasant day!
Great view of a hawk that flew directly over my head as I was heading back. I was side hilling on slope above Alhambra Valley and he came down from above then immediately caught an uplift of the valley wind and effortless rose at least 40 feet in a second or two. It was something to watch!.
