Three of us started out from the trailhead at Grant Lake for our nearly eight mile trek up to Antler Peak in the Joseph Grant County Park near San Jose.  Despite fog covering the cities along the route up to the park, it was sunny at the trailhead.  We did see a few other folks leaving on the same trail just before us but they must have opted for other destinations in the park as we never saw another human the rest of our hike. Just after starting out, we passed Grant Lake which was brimming with waterfowl and was several feet higher than its normal level due to recent rains in Northern Calif..  Trees weren't out yet but the grass was green and fairly lush.   Although there was much evidence of their destructive presence in the park (rooted up grass, droppings, etc.), we never saw any of the 500+ wild pigs that are supposed to live in the area.  Arriving at the summit about 2 1/4 hours after starting, we had great, clear views of San Jose, the surrounding mountains, and the southern San Francisco Bay.  Stopping for lunch at an interesting cabin, currently undergoing renovation, we learned that it had been an early 20th century hunting lodge for notables including President Hoover, a personal friend of the owner of Grant Ranch.  After an easy descent through green meadows and cow pastures (with a couple of easily-spooked cow and steer herds), we returned to the trailhead about 3pm.  All agreed that the hike had been a fine way to spend a Wednesday: hiking Antler Peak on a warm, early Spring day!  And special thanks to Dave from Cupertino for taking the great photos in this trip report!
