"Like An Outdoor Museum": Hiking Recommendation, Photos

WALNUT CREEK, CA — Last week Sylvia Rodriguez suggested a hike at Contra Loma Regional Park in Antioch. This week, she stuck close to home.

"My hike recommendation of the week is Old Borges Ranch," said Slyvia, "easy to park, so many options and lots of open space to get a good hike in and not worry about crowds. There are many old structures to see along the way, feels like an outdoor museum."

Thank you for sharing, Sylvia! Here is last week's suggestion:

If you have an awesome photo of nature, breath-taking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny, or something unusual you happen to catch with your camera, we'd love to feature it on Patch.
