Backdrop of San Bernardino Mountains one fine winter's day.
You know your face tells a different story from you heart or stomach after the female ranger, when asked for directions to the trailhead, suggested that the hike is rated strenuous. What's unsaid is that 'you two old people should consider taking a stroll amongst the trees, get a cup of tea and perhaps have a snooze'. Well, the times are changing and so we considered her words of caution, broke down and cried, wiped our eyes and headed for the 10.5 mile hike with only about 1,800 feet cumulative elevation gain. It gave me great pleasure not to mention that the editor climbed 3,500 feet the previous week in her stride. While we are getting older, it appears we may have collected some maturity along the way.
Hazy and gentle scenery in the morning freshness.
Dropping down from the peak to a better vantage point.
Breakfast in a superb position.
Overlooking the Yucca Valley from Eureka Peak.
After breakfast, let the games begin.
Peeking through the Yuccas at the peak.
Taking a breather on one of three peaks visited.
Cheers,
Jenni and Jeffrey
