A fire break was bulldozed into the hill in an effort to stop the fires in 2017. Some of the structures in the distance may owe their existence to these efforts. (Photo by Austin Explorer)

We used some stepping stones to cross the creek here. Lots of big trees, including what appear to be some Redwoods, kept us in the shade most of the hike. (Photo by Austin Explorer)

The heavy tree cover of the hilly sections of the trail provide good shelter from the Sun. However, they don't provide many vistas. But there are still a few places with good views. (Photo by Austin Explorer)

Part of the Bartholomew Park trails are more steep than one might think. Lots of stairs help in places. (Photo by Austin Explorer)
