Augustin Bernal Park - Pleasanton, CA

Two month ago, I went hiking at Augustin Bernal Park here in Pleasanton, CA and brought my camera. I shot some photos on the mountain. The view sure is great from up there! Most of the photos for today are from the peak. The photos for this blog post were shot on 7/22/2014 and 7/23/2014. 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.
