I went to El Corte de Madera Creek Preserve in Redwood City for my last hike. The weather was clear and the temperature was 60 degrees with a small breeze which was perfect for the steep grade of the trails. I had initially only planned to go to a large sandstone, the vista point, and back on the same trail. When leaving the vista point after lunch I decided to take a new way back to see the old growth redwood I saw on the map. This added 4 miles to my planned 2 mile hike and I ended up with 97 flights climbed which I felt afterwards. Much of the hike was done in the shade of the many redwoods that filled the valleys. There was many stream crossings done with bridges on the trail that ran along the bottom of the area. This part of the peninsula is one I've driven by many times but never walked around and I should have done this sooner.
