In February 2022, I hiked the Ohlone Wilderness Trail from Del Valle Regional Park to Mission Peak Regional Preserve. The entire journey was 28 miles with more than 7000 ft of elevation. I completed the hike over two days.
I camped at Maggie's Half Acre and stopped at Murietta Falls, Rose Peak and Mission Peak. It was a challenging trail but had some great scenery, lots of animals (hello cows!) and a beautiful sunset.
I hope you enjoy the video! If you have any questions, please read the trip report linked above or send me a message!

God bless the people who fight to preserve open space. We need it more than ever.
Loved it. Please slow your pans
Cows are generally not predatory. But it is a good idea to avoid being between them and their calves.
There are, however, mountain lions in these hills. They are pretty stealthy and the avoid humans, so you usually won't see them. But they are there.
VERY NICE ADVENTURE, I WAS THERE YESTERDAY, 6/3/2023
Bison are scary, but cows are pretty tame. I think there have been close to zero cow attacks on hikers, and I don't think many bear attacks. I could not bring bear spray in Sequoia Park on a trip there. I was living on the edge.
Very enjoyable video! I think the cows wanted cuddles!
Thanks Stewart! Haha I think the cows want me to leave them alone forever hahaha

Mikaela, probably mucked up the spelling. Anyway, I watched this a year ago and now TH-cam has prompted me to watch it again. I am a metric person so good to have you giving the metres etc and for the old fashioned country you seem to be living in, the translation would be helpful. Regards, Paul from south east Australia 🇦🇺 😅
Perfect spelling actually! Thank you :)
@@VoyageurTripperI can’t remember the context of my spellcheck comment, so apologies to you.
Hi Mikaela
This is the first time I've watched any of your videos.
I was at Sunol's little Yosemite on Memorial day .
I was wondering why you dont post videos anymore.
I enjoyed watching this and a couple of other ones.
Hi Gail! Thanks for your comment! I moved to California for a new job and for the first six months I wasn’t that busy and was able to do lots of trips and make TH-cam videos about them. But then things started to get busy and its been like that for the past two years. I only do a couple trips each year, and I don’t film them anymore. That said, I do want to get back into it and I’ll be changing jobs this year, so maybe I’ll start uploading again. Comments like these remind me that it’s something I enjoy, and others enjoy it too :)
@@VoyageurTripper Hi Mikaela,
Thank you for your reply!
Yes, life can get pretty busy/hectic at times.
I'm glad you're doing good!
I was wondering if something happened to you and that's why you haven't been posting anymore.
So, I'm glad all is well with you😊
When life slows down some for you, I look forward to new videos from you.
I shared your video with my friend that I went to Sunal Regional park with the other day.
And we both think you have alot of courage and guts for going solo backpacking in the wilderness.
I admire you for your bravery
💪😉👍
We get nervous and worry about mountain lions or bears when we go hiking😬
We only do day trips.
Take care🙋♀️
Thank you for sharing your video🎉🎉🎉🎉❤

Mikaela! This is awesome, great job with the editing!
Thanks Steven!
Come back 😢
i chuckled listening to you state your fears while the stampede ran the other way.
(my bf is 6'4" and he had the same reaction when we encountered TWO cows in the fremont hills last saturday)
That actually makes me feel a lot better! They're surprisingly scary up close!
Very nice editing of your trip !! Enjoyed every bit of it !
Thanks so much Eliezer! I'm glad you liked it :) I think this is the best editing of any of my videos thus far haha
What a sunset!! Quite unique to walk through a field of cows - can imagine how odd that is. You do a good job of holding the camera high enough! Sometimes we forget and it looks like we are looking down on it
Thanks guys! I find it easier with an phone - I usually mess up holding the gopro for some reason!
Great job Mikaela Cows will never hurt you...bull that's another story
Hahaha nice one - and thanks!
You might be interested in another TH-camr that does hiking vlogs. Kraig Adams. =) he has a style you might be interested in.
I already follow him! He has great videos!
i have ptsd from a mom cow chasing me and my dog for a good quater mile . wtf is with cows? they need to chill
"Chasing" 😂 She was 100% just curious, any aggro was in your mind.
Those disgruntle cows! 😂 ✌
A tad melodramatic in my opinion haha
