Narrow ranch road running through a yellow, green and blue landscape with tall hills all around: quite typical of Henry Coe State Park.

One thing that's different here compared to many areas of the park is that this road is obviously well-used, since it serves the private ranch nearby. Still, I don't see any people anywhere.
