From here we're looking down on the Coyote Trail and can see the cistern near the north end. The road in the distance to the right is Hell Hill.

The hillside is covered with morning glories. They look just like tiny white dots in this photo.

There were thousands of bees here, not far from the main trail. You can see them as white spots in front of the tree and dark spots against the sky near the tree.

From the top of the BB hill, we can see the ridgelines to the south-east are covered with poppies.
