Early days as we head down and then up toward the red (pink) rocks.
Beautiful...the plant life, too.
Upon returning from our camping excursion to Catalina Island, we thought of stopping close to the mainland port to undertake some hiking in this virgin territory, that is, for us. Jen found a gem of a park which provides wonderful hiking opportunities with some steep sections, unusual rock formations and all close to the town. In fact, much housing development surrounds this large regional park. Amazing how many treasures fill the land just off the beaten paths. Add in the blooming spring flora and we enjoyed 2 wonderful days before returning to ???
The scenery is lovely...a little surprising in this dry region.
Caught off-guard, it appears.
1.2 miles sharply up. The camera cannot capture the slope (heard that one before).
Spring confirmed.
Aha! The rocks finally.
The day before in the same region, different hike (Dreaded Hill, anything but dreadful), we met Terry and his mare. Terry was most inspiring and his pinto with large blue eyes was quite charming. The scene reflected below is moments before we told Terry to get off his high-horse and let Jen and me ride off into the sunset. Terry replied that sunset was 8 hours distant and he had no intention of sitting around talking with us until then. Nice!
Cheers,
