Above Berkeley CA: Tilden State Park 2

Posted By John Chabalko on May 2nd, 2005

Leanne decided to lay down on the trail to take pictures of a California Dandelion. We have some of these California Dandelions near the front of our house and they’re at least 4 times the size of any dandelion i’ve ever seen
That road down there is the “trail” that runs through Tilden State Park’s Inspiration Point. A guy we passed said that it ran for about 6 miles (Somewhere down there is the 1/2 mile marker) 6 miles seemed slightly excessive but i guess i have no reason to doubt the guy. On the way back down this hill I sneezed about 14 times and remembered that there are a couple of reasons to stay on the trail. One is errant grass seeds and the other is poison oak, both of which ruin my week.
