Distance: 6.2 miles

Adding this one to our favorites list!



All wildlife seen was on the drive in and on the drive out!


They even have cool outhouses!











It was a chilly start.




Could this be the eye of an elephant?

Looks like an elephant's trunk.
































Los Vaqueros Reservoir










An outhouse on the trail; this was one of two! They were somewhat close in proximity and about two - thirds into our hike.





This section where we had our lunch had our adrenaline rushing..

A sheer drop.

Morgan Territory Regional Preserve

(Edit: To reach the parking lot I would recommend accessing Morgan Territory Road via the Livermore side rather than from Clayton. MTR in Clayton turns into a one-lane road. We were lucky enough to get an early start and only came across one other car from the opposite direction and had just passed a turnout in the road and only had to backup a short distance to the turnout to allow the other car to pass. Livermore side also is a one lane road, but for a shorter distance and has a bit more room.)
