elf1  > Hiking > Henry Coe Bell Station Hiking June 8 2008 Burra Burra Trail
We hiked from the new (last year) Henry Coe park entrance at Bell's Station. This section of the park, until last year, was accessible only by a 15-mile hike from the other side of the park. We drove 7 miles on a dirt/gravel road from highway 152 at Bells Station (one closed restaurant, a large barn, several outbuildings, and a big house). We hiked on the Burra Burra Trail (roughly 2.5-3 miles). Afterwards, on the way home, we stopped at Casa de Fruta (see my photos).

elf1 > From some points on the Burra Burra trail, we could see the road that we came in on. Here, there's a junction with one of several private roads that lead off into ranchland, with a vehicle coming out of the gate.
elf1 > Rocks. (More educational geological info.)
elf1 > And--yes--a different purple flower. Possibly the Clay Mariposa Lily? (Calochortus argillosus.)
elf1 > Pete, Paul, and Linda resting in the shade for a pre-lunch snack.
elf1 > The Burra Burra Trail just circles the actual Burra Burra Peak. If you want to get to the top, you have to go pretty much straight up the side of the last knoll.
elf1 > Paul heads to the top of Burra Burra Peak--we don't need no stinking switchbacsk.

elf1 > Paul almost at the top of the Peak.
Linda and the Gnarly Oak. (Sounds like a sequel to the Harry Potter series, dunnit?)
