The Bog Trail in Winter
Friday, December 31, 2010 at 9:51PM On a recent trip to the Mountain, between the recent deluge of rain and storms, I visited the bog trail on the Saddle. The paths were soggy and wet, but at that time of day, in the middle of the morning, the trail was vibrant and alive. All plant life flickered with the iridescence of newly-fallen rain. Shiny diamonds of water clung to leaves and grass, encapsulated in clusters, all the way to the ground.
It's been a while since I last visited the Mountain, and this time I was alone. But, not really alone, alone. Life was teeming all around, Springtime seemed so near, in the "dead" of winter. I even encountered vestiges of human interaction with the wildness around me. Hay recently laid down to protect nascent native plant transplants covered portions of the trail and colored flags stood up everywhere, like stubborn cowlicks. "We're back! And we've got friends."
What went through my mind was, 'What a gift! This place is a miracle.' Even if it were not at the backdoor of an urban environment, San Bruno Mountain would still be a breathtaking sanctuary, a sweeping panorama in the Northern California landscape, a true destination worth the trip, from nearby or from far away.
