Views from the City to the Sea at Monte Bello Open Space Preserve
Monte Bello Open Space Preserve is home to Black Mountain, the mountain for which the nearby city Mountain View is named. From the top of Black Mountain, we had a view all the way to the Pacific Ocean and of the entire Santa Clara Valley in the other direction. We were a little early for the wildflowers, but we did spot a beautiful patch of colorful Indian Paintbrush.
