Chaparral, Grassland, and Valley Oaks
Looking along Road F toward Escobar Gate from near Trail 15, we see the chaparral on the left, anchored by a valley oak. Across Road F is the mistletoe-covered valley oak; beyond it, on the ridge on the right, is the "Phainopepla Tree", full of browning mistletoe. Still foggy. 10:50 am.
