Taking a break at the windmill, which is behind us

On the Satwiwa Loop Trail for some nice shade for a while

The Satwiwa trails mostly pass through grasslands

We are leaving Rancho Sierra Vista/Satwiwa and entering Rancho Potrero Open Space that belongs to COSCA (we came from the other side of this sign)

Heading up a new and unofficial trail in Rancho Potrero. In places, it was quite steep and a bit loose
|
|
 |
The unofficial trail rejoins the official trail at the base of the ridge

 |
A brief rest in the shade of these pine trees before we head back, but we take a more direct route to get back.
