Ten rambler hikers went to Alum Rock Park for a 4-mile hike. The Sycamore Switchback trail is a bit beyond the scope of rambler’s comfort zone, but everyone made the 600-foot elevation with a good pace. We enjoyed beautiful views of valley and hills. When walking back along the Penitencia Creek, we passed by the ruins of mineral spring pools, which were main attractions to tourists many years ago. Still, we can smell the sulfur than comes out from the cracks of mountain rocks. John and Mimi led the hike.
