The Diablo Range is far in the distance, across Coyote Valley. Nearby are the hills of Rancho Canada del Oro with their trails, one of which winds around below. Seen looking east from high on Longwall Canyon Trail.

Loma Prieta (3,790ft.), tallest of the Santa Cruz Mountains, is front and center when looking southwest at the Bald Peaks Viewpoint.
Loma Prieta (3,790 ft.) the highest peak in the Santa Cruz Mountains is on the right. Seen looking southwest when winding along on the Bald Peaks Trail ridge top. Pretty wildflowers all along the trail.
Barely visible in the distant haze (left center) is the South Bay and its metropolitan area, all surrounded by grassy and wooded hills abounding with spring wildflowers. Seen to the northwest from Bald Peaks Viewpoint.
Mt. Hamilton, with its white observatories, and Copernicus, two highest Diablo Range peaks are center-right in the far distance across south Santa Clara Valley. Calero Reservoir is nearby below. Looking northeast among wildflowers on Bald Peaks Viewpoint.
Nearby are the wooded and brush covered hills of Rancho Canada del Oro Open Space Preserve, with the trail far below. In the far distance across Coyote Valley, is the Diablo Range, seen looking east from high on Longwall Canyon Trail.
