An easier option would be to hike a loop up Hamms Gulch, to Windy Hill, then down Spring Ridge Trail, which would come in under 8 miles. Of course, you could also drive right up Skyline Boulevard and hike up Windy Hill from there, then go exploring out-and-back on the Bay Area Ridge Trail.

I've never hiked here before but had been meaning to do so one of these days. Now I'll definitely hike here soon. Thanks for the post and photographs Miguel.

How long was it and what was the total elevation gain? Would love to see if I can make it shorter for my girls. Great photos. Love this, it sounds like a great hike.
