Hiking with Yeye

BoTh Yeye and i have a free Saturday this week, which doesn't happenthat often. We decided to go on a hike because both of us need to lose weight: I need to lose weight for my cousin's wedding in October, yeye for his bro's wedding in December.

It's a bit challenging to pick a trail, because neither of us are real hikers. On Saturday morning i opened up my Google Now browser and found out about wildflower festival in Sunol. It's a bit far, but still managable. They have booths and guided walk. Its perfect for us, i thought!

When we arrived at the park, we couldn't hide our disappointment for a small booths area, as it doesn't seem like they have a lot to explore. So we decided to go hit the trail rightaway.

We have no maps, no idea how long the trail is, or what to expect whatsoever. We just followed the crowd leading to the hiking area. In the very beginning, the trail branches into two path: one looking really steep and the other one looks a lot flatter going along the creek.

It was no brainer which trail we chose! I remember one of us said it's impossible to do the steep trail. So by the creek we go. We talked, enjoyed the wonderful weather (including too much sunlight!), but we were not really impressed by the trail. We were starting to wonder where the trail would end,  whether it's a loop or an out and back trail. We went up to a point called little Yosemite, where the creek ends, and we saw large rocks and !ini waterfalls.

We were contemplating whether we should continue the loop or go back the same way. Then sudenly I felt an urge to go uphill to continue the loop because i want to see the view from higher elevation and we sure glad we did!

The views on top are gorgeous!! We saw cows too:

Yeye said surely we can't lose to them!!! Hahah

Anyways i learned not to get intimidated too easily by the things we see as reality. The hill sure looked high when we started, but we ended up finishing the whole loop in one piece. We did get awfully hungry afterwards, but that's normal, yeah?
