Point Pinole - May '25
return to index
On the 2nd Wednesday in May, seven of us met in Davis & then drove to Pinole Point Regional Park, in the Bay Area. We were eight once my former co-worker friend & sometimes hiking mate Andrew came from Oakland to join us.
With endless open space Bay views & giant eucalyptus woods, this is an atmospheric and somewhat timeless place. Calm bay air today provided clear views across San Pablo Bay to Mt. Tam & a lot of Marin County.
note - on a pc or laptop you can zoom into any part of a photo, but alas, not on a smartphone.

About 20 minutes after the last photo was taken, the re-joined group came upon a narrow beach spot where we could sit on a long Eucalyptus log, and have lunch w/a great view.
In the end we walked at least 4 miles.
