“Meadow View”

The trails at the Enid Pearson Arastradero Preserve in the Bay Area California are a breath taking almost out of body and other worldy experience. So much to take in from the lush grassy open meadows abound, to the pond, to the southern feel of the mossy oak “switchbacks” leading to the Meadow View. And what a glorious sight to behold when you emerge from the dim lit mossy oaks into the Meadow! Like heavens gates have opened! You stop and think “if this is what heaven is like please let me and my mount proceeed to the gates!” Not a trailride you want to miss with its countless options to choose from leading you all the way to the pacific coastal mountains. Spring is the best time to go because of the lush and active environment but really any season is just breath taking. When I think of bliss, this picture entails it all.
