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 > Still other little purple flowers mixed in with some cool-looking purplish grass.  Cool as long as it stayed on its stems and didn't get into our socks and poke us in the ankles, which most of the grasses did on a very annoyingly regular basis.
elf1 > Pete, Linda, and Paul are all standing on the trail. Really.
elf1 > Linda and Pete heading up the trail through the grass. This trail had very little even ground; lots of dramatic uphills and downhills.
elf1 > Looks like a dandelion, but much much larger.
elf1 > This giant dandelion-like seed head was beautiful, with parts glowing golden in the sun. You could believe that a princess could spin this into gold. My photo doesn't do it justice.
elf1 > For a change of pace, I managed to get ahead of Linda and Paul on one section of slightly wooded trail.
elf1 > Many interesting, gnarled oaks dotted the hillsides. Here's one, mostly dead I think, maybe with mistletoe.
elf1 > Linda coming down the trail.
