Climbing 'little' Boney Peak

While the others climb 'little' Boney Peak, Putt fetches the peak register from 'big' Boney Peak
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
After 'little' Boney Peak, the 'big' Boney Peak is a bit more of a challenge

Coming down from 'big' Boney Peak

We took a different trail down from Boney Peak to the Sandstone Peak Trail than we went up
|
|
 |
We can see a large group of people across the way on Peak 2701 of Boney Mtn. It turns out to be the Meetup Group "The Thousand Oaks Hikers"

The group on Boney Mtn Peak 2701
|
|
 |
To get to Exchange Peak, we took a road up to a water tank, then along a narrow trail through the chaparral
|
|
|
|
 |
Higher up the chapparal gives way to an open area
|
|
 |
Across the way we can see people on Tripeaks (left and center) as well as on Peak 2701 (right)
