First stop is the top of Sign Hill, which is apparently Iris Hill

Heading to foggy San Bruno Mountain

San Francisco from the ridgeline

Heading down the ridge to the Bay (Mt. Diablo on the left)

We stuck together on this hike; this was our mantra

The False Pipe

Heaven shines on the One True Pipe

The Chosen visit The Pipe. . .others are not worthy

Rarely used "trail" back to the ridgeline

Fabulous Brisbane at our backs

Summit pictures

Returning from the peak

Scarecrows

We started the day going up the trail on the right, came back along to ridge to the towers on the upper left, and the last stragglers are shown coming up from the lower left--the last hill of the day

Almost done with San Bruno
