Monte Bello Open Space Preserve Hike

This was a nice Sunday hike. The weather was a bit cold, but the park wasn't very populated. Started out on the Stevens Creek Trail, connecting to the Bella Vista Trail via Canyon Trail. Connected over to Old Ranch Trail and Indian Trail to get to the top of Black Mountain. I was looking to see if there were better views of the peninsula but couldn't find them (darn trees), so I went back to the parking lot via Indian Creek and Stevens Creek Trails. Found out about this hike from the book '101 Great Hikes of the San Francisco Bay Area'.
