WE DID IT!! Hike #6 at Strawberry Peak. Considering I wanted to quit after hike 1 (and hike 3) this was so exciting!

The trail is fairly flat till the saddle. There are 2 fake summits before the actual one. The yucca leaves (spikes!) can hurt. Scrambling required at points. We started the hike early so a lot of shade on the way to the peak; much less on return.

The summit had lots of ants and some bees. Few rocks to sit on. Views were gorgeous – downtown, ocean, Mt Wilson all visible. Baldy visible on the way down. Just a few others on the trail. We met Jen and Jodie who were on peak 5. Always fun to compare stories.

We celebrated afterwards – woo hoo!!
