The group - on a grey perfect hiking-weather day
The hiking path went by Margaret Ratay's house, and she generously opened it up for a pit stop - much appreciated
The last part of the hike was through the Canyon Oaks trail
Hike leader Dan describes the different kind of oaks
Dan estimates this oak might be as much as 300 years old
All the green, including the mossy rocks, gives this a fairy-tale appearance
