took my BRZ out this weekend for its first canyon/mountain run as it reached 1000 miles...
Stopped at the Junction Cafe, which is a popular biker and cyclist stop on the backside of Mt. Hamilton.
Then continued on up to the peak of Mt. Hamilton, the tallest mountain (4196 ft) overlooking Silicon Valley.
At the peak is Lick Observatory, which was built in the 1880s by the University of California. Sorry for the crappy cellphone pic.
panorama:
The roads up to the peak are a fantastic drive, and very scenic.
