Lovely view ! If you want to explore after visiting the peak, take of to the northeast. There are some nice hills to climb and additional views of the city ...

On 7/11/13 I left a baseball I caught at the bees game. It is located where one would collect coins. Enjoy.

Супер крутое место! Но, надо иметь ввиду, подъем достаточно крутой: или палки, или соответствующая обувь необходимы)
