Yesterday was a gorgeous day to hike the Anza Trail, a mile or so south of the City of San Juan Bautista. The trail, formally known as the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail, is 1,200 miles long, stretching from Nogales, Arizona to the Carquinez Straits in Contra Costa, California.
The local segment of the trail used to be the Old Stage Road, on which once upon a time stage coaches ran between San Juan Bautista and Salinas. The first mile of the 4.5 trail is a rather steep climb that I wonder how often passengers had to get off the coach and walk.
Today, I'm hanging out at The Weekend in Black and White. Click here to see other black and white photos by bloggers around the world.

You're welcome. I think of the Appalachian Trail as being under a lot of trees. I must go find more pictures of the trail.
DeleteOh, that looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt was a very beautiful day, more so because the Husband and I managed to get up that part of the trail more easily than we had in January. We're getting stronger.
DeleteI like this, very nice :)
