Trail/Park Description:
When the group suggested going here, I looked the sight over online and couldn't help but think it would be a small grassy mound devoid of flowers, trees or views. What a surprise! Not only were the spring flower abundant, but it had the rare Tiburon Mariposa Lily we finally found, unusual wind formed trees,
interesting geological formations all surrounded by an upscale neighborhood, and views second only to Angel Island.
See our Park page for more information.
