Stephanie, Ellen, Linda, Paul, and Pete as photographed by the kindly ranger volunteer. (There were two of them manning the visitor center, and only two other cars the whole time we were there.)

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).

Photos for personal use OK by giving Ellen Levy Finch credit and linking back to here; for other uses, contact me.
