I know we did this 7 weeks ago, but this is one of my top 5. Howard discovered this hike several years ago. There are restrooms (flush), water and picnic tables at Macedo. Bring snacks. I will bring fuji apple slices to share.

This is like a Remington plus hike. A little bit further, 6 miles vs 5; a lttle bit higher, 1,200' elevation gain versus 800', but the views are better! Hike duration is 2+ hours. Wall Point is a ridge that overlooks Blackhawk on the right, and looks up at Mt. D. on the left. Wall Point is in Alamo. Bring your camera! Bring the exact change for the parking fee.
