#13- Rancho San Antonio return from trail split
4
Length: 2.2 milesEst. Time: 51m

I love this climb up from the trail split (where Pacer and I glitched). It’s narrow, has rocks and roots, but it’s shady almost all day (except for the last half-mile) and it’s a fun climb, with great views of San Francisco Bay and Santa Clara Valley before you descend. You reach the route by going up the hill behind the farm
