YESTERDAY I HIKED UP TO SHILOH RANCH PARK FOR ABOUT 3 HOURS. IT WAS WARM BUT THE PATHS ARE NICE AND COOL WITH FORESTS FOR THE MOST PART. THERE IS A LAKE AS YOU HIKE ABOUT 1 1/2 MILES INTO THE PARK. THERE WERE MANY GEESE AND ABOUT 5 GOSSLINGS - VERY CUTE. THERE ARE MANY RABBITS AND COYOTE SCAT. THERE ARE VERY FEW PEOPLE THAT HIKE THE TRAILS - I'M NOT SURE WHY..THERE ARE ALWAYS SOME HORSE RIDERS.
I SAW LIZARDS, MANY SMALL BIRDS THAT WERE PROBABLY WARBLERS. AND I SAW SOME CHAMISE, LOMATIUMS, CHAMOMILE, AND DOUGLAS FIRS, MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF OAKS, BUCKEYE TREES, MONKEY FLOWERS, DOUGLAS IRISES, AND MANY REDWOOD AND MADRONE TREES. WHEN YOU GET TO THE TOP OF THE RIDGE TRAIL THERE IS A GRAND VIEW OF THE TOWN OF WINDSOR AND SURROUNDING AREAS INCLUDING THE RUSSIAN RIVER.
YOU CAN REST ON SOME BENCHES AND THEY HAVE GOOD OVERLOOKS. I WAS ONE OF THE OLDER HIKERS. MANY YOUNGER FOLKS RUN OR BIKE ON THE TRAILS.
