The trail to Mission Peak winds through a terraced hillside. In the middle of fields of golden grass presides a band of mellow cows too busy foraging for food to bother with the passing humans. Some people listen to their own music on the trip up, but I much preferred the hum of insects and the occasionally lowing cow to connect me back to nature.
