Approaching another rock wall
|
|
|
 |
The trail heads up that small patch of bare rock
|
|
 |
The rock is too steep to walk completely upright
|
|
|
 |
We have a view into Hidden Valley
|
|
 |
We drop down a little to cross over to the next huge rock blocks
|
|
 |
Looking back up at the short descent
|
|
 |
We have another section between a rock wall and the bush
|
|
 |
This time it's steeper and more loose
|
|
 |
It's also longer, and there is some poison oak as well!
|
|
|
 |
When we come out, we're on a plateau of sorts (it's not as level as it looks from a distance!)
|
|
 |
Another group of hikers behind us
|
|
 |
Some hikers that passed us on the way down are at a section that was downhill for us. This photo was taken with a telephoto lens so they're further away than they look
|
|
 |
Onward and upward!
|
|
 |
On the plateau and roughly 80% of the way to the summit
|
|
|
 |
Some different hikers at the top
|
|
 |
Looking back, we see Dos Viento over the tall chaparral
|
|
|
 |
We start to see some falling star flowers up here (in mid March)
|
|
 |
Looking south through a gap is the Old Boney Trail far below
|
|
 |
This photo was taken in late June. There aren't any shooting stars at this time of year
