Resume my hiking experience again! I have to say I picked a good hike this time: the Wunderlich County Park.

Exit either Sand Hill Rd or Woodside Rd from I-280, the park is only about 5 minutes away, with a relatively small sign at the entrance of the park.

I went there at around 7:00AM in the morning. The weather was fabulous and there were not many cars in the parking lot. The park is actually a very popular destination, you can hardly find a parking if you get there after 8:30AM :-)

Overall, the hike is fairly easy. I started from the parking lot and walk to the south corner. Alambique Trail starts to the left and Bear Gluch Trail begins to the right. Bear right to the Bear Gluch Trail. 

The trail was fully covered by shades. After ascending 0.7 mile, I past Redwood Flat. There are lots of redwood trees on both side of the trail.

After another 0.8 mile, I suddenly noticed the sky became much brighter. That was “the Meadows.”

The Meadow Trail is on the left while Bear Gluch Trail continues to the right heading to the Alambique Creek. After about 0.5 mile, I got to the Alambique Flat, a quite shady spot where one can hear the creek trickling by.

Then I turned onto the Alambique Trail and the rest of the journey became easy descending path.

It took me less than 2 hours before I got back to the parking lot. I really enjoyed the sunshine coming through the shady redwood trees!
