Tom's recent revisit to Uvas Canyon reminded me that I had yet to visit the park.
The Waterfall/Contour loop portion of the hike was quite nice with the recent rains adding to the flow in the falls. The ridgetop portions of today's route were generally steep, hot, and unremarkable.
Park Map. Ended up covering pretty much all of the trails starting with the northernmost routes and working my way south. (Timestamps are off by an hour, forgot to adjust the camera for daylight savings)

At the day use parking lot after paying my $6 entry fee. Quite cold this morning (mid 30s) and I once again made the mistake of overdressing and ended up lugging an unneeded jacket around all day.
Viewed: 32 times.
Trailhead sign. My initial route was right toward the youth group area.
Viewed: 26 times.
Start of the Kibbs Knob trail at the end of the Youth Group Area. The "trail" was more of a fire road.
Viewed: 24 times.
Start of 2 miles of steep uphill. The first mile was mostly shaded and then the road broke above the treeline for the remainder of the route.
Viewed: 23 times.
An overlook about halfway up the trail. The water from the creek below could be heard, but the stream itself was out of view.
Viewed: 27 times.
Knibbs Knob now in view as the road continued steeply upward.
Viewed: 23 times.
Turnoff for the short switchback spur up to Knibbs Knob.
Viewed: 18 times.
Unremarkable clearing and picnic table on Knibbs Knob. (And probably not worth the steep climb up here)
