acorn woodpecker went hiking September 5, 2015 8 miles 3,500 feet gained
Unexpectedly had the afternoon and went a new way up a familiar haunt in Herman Creek area. Basked in the sun along a ridge. Good hiking weather; pleasantly cool with a high enough cloud ceiling to enjoy the immediate surroundings. Topped out at a high point before dropping down to Indian Point for more dramatic views. Exited via Gorton Creek Trail to complete the loop.
