Stairs, Oak Leaves - Lake Lagunitas  2025

These stone steps are at the beginning - or end - of the hike around Lake Lagunitas (depending on the direction you take). They remind me a little of those granite steps you frequently find on Sierra Nevada trails, but those are usually quite a bit longer.
