Normally there is three of us that hike together, because of the long drive, one could not make it. It would had been a lot more fun if she was there.

It was a hot day for hiking, mid 90 s .

The trail is all paved, freshly paved as in the last summer. Thought because it was shorter then the last trail we took it would be easier but it also meant it was steeper.

In the past we have seen bobcats when we hiked, but not like this one. This one is bigger then others and if you look close, under the cat is a litter box. The owner must have put it there and this must be a domestic cat.

2003 there was a fire. Now there is a forest of trees under twenty foot tall, most about six feet but a lot of them. It will be a forest again. he last pic is from the peak looking toward Mexico
