Scenic View from the American Flag Atop Quail Bluffs

Xavier Padilla took this scenic shot of his son and dogs standing at the top of Quail Bluffs, the hills that separate the rest of Menifee from Quail Valley. His son is looking southwest, past Springbrook Way in the Newport Hills area and beyond to open fields.

A trail at the end of Boulder Crest Way leads up the hill to the American flag and a view of the entire area. This was taken at 7 a.m. on Christmas Eve.

Xavier is now eligible for the December Photo of the Month award in our Menifee in Pictures feature.
