To Shelli Johnson,
Hello, my name is John,and I just want to say how much I like your videos. I was born and raised in San Francico, and I was looking for a Pirates Cove video to send to my friend in Finland. I found yours, and also the Green Gulch
video…but not part 2. I always say that the Pirates Cove
Trail, Steep Ravine, and Matt Davis trail are proof positive
that one does not have to leave The S.F, Bay to find beauti-ful outdoors. And the hike to Rose peak and back, from Del
Valle Resevoir, in the East Bay is total proof that there is at least one killer hike of great difficulty in the Bay
Area.This one is only 20 miles but 5600/5700 ft. elevation
gain, No matter what the hiking books say. I think that this dwarfs Half Dome for difficulty…but not for danger.
This is along the Ohlone Wilderness Trail, my favorite
hiking on earth, even if it may not be the very most beau-
tiful. (It’s close enough for me.)Murietta Falls hike is
in the area too. 12.6 miles,4400+ elevation. A great day
hike, I could handle it just twice a year.I read that you
hiked 32 miles in one day! I’ve done 21 miles maybe 23 once.
You can also tackle Rose Peak from Sunol trailhead from
Sunol Wilderness. Up and back is 19 miles 4300-4800′ elev. gain, depending if hike along the creek, or up to Cerra
Este. With a shuttle, you could hike from Del Valle to
Rose peak (3817′)on to Sunol Trailhead, 20 miles,4600′
gain.Or even continue up to Mission Peak(2600′) to The Fremont
Trail head for 28 miles, and approx.7000-7500′ gain!…etc.
Maybe you have hiked it already. The 28 miler is out of my league,but I have done the rest, although hiking to Rose
Peak and back from Del Valle got me into trouble,but I finished about 5300 of the climb.
I am 59 years old and this area helped to get me back to
shape after a few health problems. I love the area, it is special to me, and there are eagles out there, too.So if
you ever hike there, Dec-May is usually best.
Oh, just one more thing, I lived in Billings Montana for eleven years, 1978-1989. Beartooth Pass and Yellowstone
are just awesome. May you and your family have a great winter. Sincerely, John B.
