Castle Rock loop from Saratoga Gap, 10.5 miles, 2000 ft elev. gain

We meet at Saratoga Gap Parking lot. it is very popular parking spot, so carpool is highly recommended. If parking will be full ( hope not ...) we move to Castle Rock new parking.
It looks that storm is not coming in Bay area this weekend , so weather must be perfect for this hike.
Castle Rock State park has one of the best views in Bay area, I always enjoy hiking there.
Our route: Skyline tr -> Loughry Woods tr -> Castle Rock Trail Camp -> Russel Point -> Ridge tr -> Goat Rock ( our lunch spot) -> Goat Rock tr -> Ridge tr -> Saratoga Gap tr -> Skyline tr -> Unnamed tr close to Indian Rock_> Summit Rock loop tr -> Skyline tr back to cars
Our pace: 2.5 -2.8 per mile. Hike's length and elevation gain is based on AllTrails route estimate. Real one can be longer 1-2 miles.
It is good to have >2.5L water, sturdy hiking shoes , layers clothes , and lunch food.
It is not good idea to join the hike if you don't plan to complete full route.
Contact me using private meetup messages or comments in case you have questions. I may help with carpool options.
Hikers who cancel after RSVP closed will get 'NO SHOW', unless they provide reasonable excuse.
