Bernal Heights Summit

At its highest elevation (466 ft.) is a privately owned equipment building and 50-foot tall telecommunications tower.

Wildflowers include the footsteps of spring, blue-eyed grass, checkerbloom, shooting star[5] and yellow mariposa lily.

Near the summit are folded layers of very hard rock called radiolarian chert.

[8] It is a sedimentary silicate rock which gets its silica content from the shells of microscopic creatures called radiolaria.

Other types of rocks and minerals on the hill include serpentinite, jasper, and clay.
