July 13th, Purisima Creek Hike, 1230 KCal, 7.03 Miles, Altitude 1542Ft, Time 3Hr

Finally, after couple of weeks of break , we all very much wanted to do a different hike, something we hadn't done before. All of us especially the ladies were tired of doing the same hikes multiple times. This has put pressure on our leader to look for a different location. We decided to go to Purisima Creek Redwood Hike near Half Moon Bay. It's around 50 miles from San Ramon, approx 1hr drive. Part of the drive was very scenic and since we started very early there was absolutely no traffic so we cruised through. We covered 4 Trails 7.03 miles and most of it shaded with tall redwood trees. There weren't that many people we came across in our hike but there were far too many Banana Slugs on the trails. The initial climb was a bit hard as usual but everyone appreciated the scenic beauty of the place.

Duration: 3hr
Difficulty: 5.5/10
