| We have several companions with us at the beginning of the hike. Here, there are worse things than poison oak to look out for on the trail. |
A small part of the Regional Wilderness, including the camping area at the barn. |
 |
 |
| Climbing towards the Flag Hill local summit. |
Buzzards take care of those hikers that can't make it to the top. |
 |
 |
| Looking down from the summit towards the parking lot where we started. |
Almost the only people we met today, and they came up the hard way - clockwise. |
 |
 |
| Looking back towards the summit, on our way down. |
The trail down is a cow path - very narrow, deep, and heavily overgrown with star thistle. |
 |
 |
| The star thistle really cuts up the legs. |
A shady spot for a quick snack before the final part of the descent. |
