Hike and tour of the Sikh Temple in San Jose led by Pam Thompson.

First September hike “Around the Golf Course”, summer 2025.

The walk today was around the golf course since a tournament was scheduled on the golf course! Cheryl was sweep and photographer.

The Tuesday hike to Bear Creek Redwoods Preserve was very enjoyable. Within the first mile we were greeted by dozens of naked ladies (the flower that is, aka surprise lilies, probably a remnant of the homestead in this vicinity). We were then treated to a close-up view of two huge old growth redwoods. The 5.2-mile loop trail was mostly shaded and made for a great morning of hiking. David Shilton was the hike leader.

Sixteen of nineteen walkers this morning. Don’t miss Kris Carlsen waiving in the distance. Two walkers left early and Gordon Carbonetti was behind the camera.

Five members of the Hill Hike group made it to the top on Saturday, August 16th. They were joined at the tip by Deimmy Henderson (R) and her friend, Kim. Who knew it was “Wear Pink and Go Hike” Day.

Seven Rambler hikers – Mary, Monona, Amy, Duc, Phil, Richard, and John – set out for a 5-mile adventure at Sanborn County Park. The scenery along the route was stunning, with sweeping views and a mile-long steep climb leading to a narrow mountain ridge pathway. The trail was challenging, but our group’s determination and teamwork carried us through, and everyone make it to the finish with smiles. Afterward, we celebrated with delicious classic fish & chips at Anchors fish & Chips Restaurant in Saratoga. It was the perfect ending to a beautiful day of hiking and camaraderie. John Zhang led the hike.
