Redwood Park, French Trail,Steam, Mill Trail, 5.5 Miles, 2 hrs 30 min, 1230 Cal. 1353 Ft Elevation

Today it was expected reach 100 degrees so decided to hike in a shaded park and headed to Redwood Park in Oakland. We had done one hike in this park in early May and it was spectacular around that time. With no rains and severe temperatures. I did not have much hope on the beauty of the surroundings but it was still worth it. This time we combined  a few trails, including the Stream trail which is along the creek but there wasn't even a drop of water to look at. May be it's time for Californians to sing a rain song as done in the Hindi move Lagaan. :). Much of the sections of the trail are shady but wherever it's not we felt it hard due to the heat. One good thing about this hike is it's constant up and downs so it gives a good, solid workout.
