Perimeter Ramble

Hiked the Perimeter Trail up from the bottom of Carr Road to Miller Canyon and back via the Clark Spring Trail.
This bit of peeling bark reminded me of the old woodland-camo pattern.

Juniper berries smell enticingly like gin, but I can never find any vermouth trees.

Apart from an early cold snap, it's been a mild Fall, so there are still some colorful leaves clinging to the trees in Miller Canyon. Reminder to self: Some of the bigger oaks near the Perimeter trailhead have potential as rope climbing anchors.

They're slightly beyond the sell-by date, but these madrone berries are still purty.
