Augustin Bernal Park - Pleasanton, CA (5-17-2014)

Recently went hiking at Augustin Bernal Park here in Pleasanton, CA. I shot some photos on the mountain. The view sure is great from up there! You can see the entire valley! To visit the park, you do have to live in Pleasanton or have someone from Pleasanton take you as driving up to the park involves driving through a small gated community and the guards for the community does check. Sometimes they do allow people from nearby cities to also enter.
