OLOMPALI SRA 
MT. BURDELL & MIWOK TRAIL
March 19,  2009
Home

Trail Description:
Most of Miwok is open grasslands, while Mt. Burdell becomes quickly surrounded by Oaks, Madrones, Pines, and California Bays. The ascent is from about 100 feet at the parking lot, to 1500 feet if one goes all the way to the top. This day we stopped about half way up for lunch before heading back for a total of about  5 miles.  Most everything at this time of year is lush from the recent rains.
