Back at the Water Wall again, almost at the end of the hike
|
|
|
Lily and Claudia show off swag they found in the geocache at the Water Wall
|
|
|
Tony's really blending in by the end of the hike!
|
|
|
The last climb. You can see part of the trail above and to the right.
|
|
|
Does this lizzard have two heads or no tail?
|

|
The group at the end of the hike, with Calabasas Peak in the background
|
|
|
After the hike, some of us go in search of geocaches and vortexes!

Condensation on a spider web

Heading uphill on the Backbone Trail above Stunt Road
|
|
|
The upper reaches of the Backbone Trail are in the clouds
|
|
|
This is "Perched Car Rock." The tail end of the car is to the right.
|
|
|
Does that rock look like a partially clenched fist?
|
|
|
Climbing a ridge to find a geocache. I bet the view from here is spectacular when there aren't so many clouds!
|
|
|
|
On the way back, we notice this hanging over the trail. Perhaps we hit the bottom part on the way up.
|
|
|
The Backbone Trail has some poison oak next to it, but well off the trail for the most part.
|
|
|
From a distance, this plant looked like a Japanese Maple, until you see the green berries
|

|
The Backbone Trail, west of the Stunt High Trail
|
|
|
By the time we are heading back, the weather has cleared enough that we get a good view of Calabasas Peak
