Bernal Hill was created 150 million years ago when the Pacific plate and the North American plate collided and converged. Today, this hilltop is home to a remarkable urban ecosystem, including native wildflowers, raccoons, opossums, skunks, hawks, owls, and, at times, at least one coyote in the past. You also get a 360 degree view of San Francisco from here. In one place, I could show friends and point to areas where I work, where I live, go to play, be quiet, and where I came from.
