Beautiful beach! Despite signs to not take glass off the beach we saw a bunch of people with bags to take it home :( I've talked to people who've been going for decades and they say there's a LOT less glass than there used to be.

This hike had been on my bucket list for quite some time, you can see Mt St Helena from a majority of other hikes in the bay area so I just had to check it out. It's mostly along a fire road to the top. We went on Christmas day 2015 and there was quite a bit of snow! If not for that I think it would be a bit of a boring hike up. But, the views at the top are worth it, at least once!

I hike this frequently as I work less than a mile away, it's a great little hike! If I don't have time to go to the top I just do the first steep hill on the Eastern trail and back around.
