Passing a concrete wall, right, you come to a clearing that affords a view of Burdell Mountain’s summit ridge and the communication tower perched just below it. The middle ground of this beautiful scene is composed of rolling hills studded with oaks. The foreground, in spring, may be carpeted with California buttercup and owl’s-clover.
Soon you meet a junction, left, with the Dwarf Oak Trail. During and just after the rainy season, the open ground surrounding the junction is a marshy area, home to red-winged blackbirds, western bluebirds, and a wildflower called Douglas meadowfoam, which sports five yellow petals tipped with white. A few hundred feet farther, you pass two unofficial trails, right.
As you continue walking on a gentle downhill course, you are surrounded by open, grassy fields, and rising, rolling hills. The main ridge of Burdell Mountain trends east–west, and is topped with many rounded summits.
