Hike at Sunol Regional Wilderness

Last weekend our pick for the Sunday hike was Sunol regional wilderness near Fremont. As it was father's day my kids and I decided to give dad a good workout!

One of the staff members at the visitor's center helped us pick a trail along the Little Yosemite area which is a easy hike for a 4 year old and is a mix of open and shaded areas. The trail offers panoramic scenery of the green and brown mountains.

The Little Yosemite area is along the Alameda creek and as you walk on the trail you can hear the bubbling and flowing water, it is very soothing. I guess it is called so because there are few low water falls and flowing water stream and a lot of greenary around. We happened to spot a banana slug near the water. There were fish fry and tadpoles in the water.

We spotted butterflies : California Buckeye and the Variable Checkerspot.



The place seems to be very popular as we saw a good amount of crowd there. One thing that put my kids off and they decided that the park was not good was because some of the owners had left their dogs without leash.
