Homestead-Blue Ridge Trail near Lake Berryessa - Oct. 20, 2012
We will be hiking the challenging Homestead-Blue Ridge Trail (5 miles round trip) in UC Davis' Stebbins Cold Canyon Reserve near Lake Berryessa. This hike offers '"adventurous day hikers spectacular views of Lake Berryessa from the solitude of a ridgeline trail." and is an "informative and physically demanding hike" . . . (approximately 1200' elevation gain).
It begins along a seasonal canyon stream and then ascends "monster stairs" to a ridgeline trail where what was once ocean floor now stands on its side. We will return to Winters for a lunch at one of the restaurants near the town square.
