Let me get this little disclaimer out of the way up front - the trek I'm going to describe is not an accessible trail using any known definition of "accessible." There is no "flat" or "paved" involved.
There aren't many years when, during the Dog Days of Summer, a hiker can comfortably spend much time out in the hills surrounding Mt. Diablo.
In my home town of Livermore, this is the time of year we dream of cooler days while we endure triple digit temperatures.
I love exploring long, flat trails. A trail with lots of turns and distance give me the ability to get out and stretch.
Some days, even I need a break, and I don't necessarily wish to challenge some of the more difficult trails in the Park District.
One of my favorite trails is the Iron Horse Regional Trail.
I'm so pleased to share my first hike with you. While I typically enjoy dusty, rustic and dramatic trails around the District, this one is a favorite that should appeal to anyone.
