Six daring hikers took the city trail just east of Ryan lake up to Rainbow ridge.. mist at the start, sprinkles of rain going up and full fledged rain at the top... we came down the VTA trail, avoiding the more slippery rocks and arriving back at Ryan lake... we did not stop for snack as the granola bars would have turned to muesli... I wasn't sure if the happy faces at the parking lot were due to the good hike or relief to be somewhere dry again... David
