This segment is a part of both the Skyline National Trail and the Bay Area Ridge Trail!
California Bay Laurel (Bay Leaf) and Western Sword Fern.
“In the absence of fire, leaf litter has been deposited in great quantities, and the soil has become rich and deep. Live oaks and bay laurels have gradually moved into the chaparral areas to shade out the chamise and manzanitas. This plant succession is a natural part of the evolution of California's landscape.”
UPDATE: This image will now represent the month of May in the 2024 EBRPD calendar! Very honored.
