Hike #2, Stebbins Cold Canyon Trail, Lake Berryessa

Don't splash me, daddy!!!!

Today we hiked a 4 mile loop trail overlooking Lake Berryessa.  The day was quite a bit warmer than last week and the first mile was quite a strenuous (and exposed) climb to the ridge.   Bits of it really reminded us of the Olomana hike in Oahu.  Along the ridge, portions of the trail were 100% boulder.  I've never hiked anything quite like it.  The last 2 miles were all downhill and shady.  Lovely!  The trail ended at a stream, where Sydney and Holly waded.  I was really glad for that because poison oak was  EVERYWHERE.

Unfortunately, Syd did not enjoy this hike one bit until the stream at the end.  Her stamina has us a little worried.

Critters:  1 cute bunny, lizards (lots), hawks (lots), 2 salamanders
