Summit Loop Views

Did the complete 3.1 mile Summit Loop Trail today on San Bruno Mountain (first pic: trail infosign). Started off where the poison oak warning sign is at Radio Road for a long winding trek round the mountain's west side. Partway up, someone has placed two heavy wood planks as a bridge over April Creek. Slanty, but better than scrambling. 

Next three pics: Summit Loop West. 

Fifth and sixth pix: Nearly up to the summit on the west side. 

At the summit, directly across Radio Road descends the trail's north part: next six pics. 

Whatta clear, warm, perfect day for a long hike. A number of other hikers and trailjoggers had the same idea. 

Coming back once again on the Bog Trail after a brief stop in the Meadow (picnic area), ahead at the edge of the trail saw something fuzzy: from the ears, hop, and little round tail, a small rabbit. Of course it quickly disappeared into the bushes. A bit further along, a black cat - feral or just a park explorer from one of the nearby homes? I always wonder about that. None I've ever seen have acted friendly though.
