Sunol Regional Wilderness (Flag Hill Trail, Cave Rocks Road, McCorkle Trail, Camp Ohlone Road, Canyon View Trail: 8.8 miles)

Poppies, Lupine and Owl's Clover covered the meadows

Poppies have seeded into cracks in the rocks along the Flag Hill trail

One of many flower-filled meadows, this one dense with Owl's Clover

A beautiful mature oak on the back side of Flag Hill

Bush Lupine on the top of Flag Hill

Enjoying the view from the top (and hoping this will be sufficient training for the Reivers Way!)

Velvet green hills, seen from Cave Rocks Road

Looking across the valley from the Cerro Este Trail back to Flag Hill

Lichen covered stones are prevalent on the McCorkle Trail

Valley Lupine along the McCorkle Trail

Sunol boasts gorgeous oak trees ...

... and interesting rock formations

On the way out, we find Mule Ears in bloom
