Round Valley Regional Preserve (Cellphone Photos) - Brentwood, CA

Yesterday, on 18 February 2023, my mom and I took a hike and walk in Round Valley Regional Preserve in Brentwood, CA. We saw lots of cows. My original plan was to do a clockwise loop via Hardy Canyon Trail and Miwok Trail, but Hardy Canyon is closed due to the recent rain storms. We ended up doing a counter-clockwise look via Murphy Meadow Trail and Miwok Trail. It seems a park ranger or rancher accidentally chained the pedestrian gate closed on Miwok Trail, so my mom and I ended up having to climb the gate in order to hike back to the parking lot. I only took photos on my cellphones on this walk and hike. I hope you enjoy viewing my photos.

Next are the photos of the pedestrian gate on Miwok Trail that a ranger or rancher most likely accidentally chained closed. It is also the gate my mom and I had to climb to get over in order to hike back to the parking lot. There were no closure signs or anything on the trails we took, so I think this was just an honest mistake by someone.
