A beautiful stream with plenty of cold water. Yay for rain!

Lauren gets a close up look at Murrieta Falls. We almost missed it. Fortunately two other hikers pointed it out to us.

Murietta Falls in all it's waterfall-y glory. =)
Amazingly enough I only had to take one picture of myself as the other girls on the trip were nice enough to take pictures for me. Sweet! =)

The guys. They hiked from Sunol to Del Valle so we met them half way through the hike to exchange keys.
Dude, are my shoulders really that broad? Whatever, here's the whole crew half-way through the trip.
Lauren adds a rock to the top of the pile on top of Rose Peak.
After finding a suitable rock I add mine to the pile.
"Scenery" albeit blury
Sweet!! Lauren found a California Newt. =)
I was so excited to see a live newt. I was a little bummed I wasn't the one to find it. Not to worry though, as we continued on I found two others so yes, I did finally find a newt on one of my hikes. =)
Lauren gets a close up look at this precocious little fella.
