Hiking up to the top of the Spring Ridge Trail @MROSD Windy Hill OSP. I took a water break and checked out the incredible view behind me. That’s Mt. Diablo in the distance, towering over a fog bank that entirely covered San Francisco Bay, while in the foreground, the beautiful Portola Valley. Hike No. 3 for 2014!
If you are looking for me…I’m over the hill!
I have so many hiking and backpacking pictures! So, I thought that I would start a new feature called, “The Thursday Picture.” I will post an outdoor picture every Thursday. It may be a picture that I took…or, a picture taken by someone else.
For my first picture, I am posting one that I took back in July, 2010 as I climbed up the Mt. Whitney Trail on a backpacking trip. This picture is from the trail at about 10,000 feet looking down on the Owen’s Valley…way, way down! I really like how the two lone pines seem to partially frame the picture. I loved this hike…until I got altitude sickness! What do you think? Have you ever hiked on the Mt. Whitney Trail?
