Willow Ridge road parelleled the SW lakeshore but stayed high above it. This junction is with the Cross Canyon trail.

Now on the Coit Dam trail, which decended down to the dam side of the lake. Had to do a running broad jump to get over the creek at the outlet of the dam.

Northern shore of the dam. Had planned to take the Coit Ridge trail north from here, but ended up back on Coit Road.

Some more purple wildflowers and an odd triangle shaped rock outcropping.

Burra Burra peak was visible to the south, along with Rock Springs and Vasquez Peak. Those were the destinations on this outing a few years ago.

Leaving Coit road for the final time today, making a U turn onto the Live Oak Springs trail. Coit road would continue north, eventually leaving the northern boundary of the park.

Junction of the spur trail down to Pacheco Falls. Burra Burra still visable on the horizen to the south.

The trail down to the falls was quite steep and dropped maybe 5-700 feet in less than a mile. This last section was wildflower coated before the trail turned left and dropped down the creekbed.

The lowest cascade of Pacheco Falls. Above this cascade, there were 3-4 more as the creek dropped down a steep walled section of canyon.
