Happy New Year! 🎉 We kicked off 2025 with an unforgettable hike in the beautiful East Bay Regional Park District. Our destination? The stunning Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve! 🌿

Join us as we explored this historical gem, passing through scenic trails, unique rock formations, and learning about the park’s fascinating mining history. A highlight of our journey was visiting the serene and slightly eerie Rose Hill Cemetery, a site filled with stories from the past. 🪦

The adventure ended with a heartwarming BBQ potluck at the trailhead, where friends, family, and fellow hikers came together to share food, laughter, and New Year’s resolutions. ✨
