This five mile trail was recommended by the ranger as one of the prettiest.
|
It was a beautiful day for a long hike.
|
The mountains here are covered with bushes, with lots of exposed rock.
|
|
The lack of trees reveals the shape of the mountains. I keep thinking of feet under light weight blankets.
|
This is pretty typical of the trail.
|
The openness of the trails are still a surprise to me.
|
|
This was my first view of that distant rock/mountain.
|
Another view...
|
And a third, using max zoom.
|
|
That's the Rancho Oso campground down in the valley.
|
This little stretch was so pretty, making me think of the descriptions I've read of Ireland.
|
I'd been walking uphill a long time, so was glad to see this crest ahead.
|
|
i wonder how much longer this tree will be able to stand up?
|
I like the fractal/binary nature of this tree's branches.
|
The sun was getting low so I was glad to be getting near the end of the trail.
