You can't see much trees on Mission Peak. HAHA, if you look it's usually a yellow empty mountain due to the dried grass and stuff.

Part of the trail. Now you can see what I mean in the last photo's comments. XD

Buckwheat (Eriogonum) (I think)

Picture taking tip: For beginners, set your camera on macro mode for close up pictures. Remember to switch your camera back to fully automatic mode after taking the picture. For best results, I'd suggest you use a Digital SLR camera.
