Local hike




This is the summit of Mt. Baden Powell in Southern California. My son David is on the summit. The summit is right at 9600 feet a quick 4 mile walk and you are in an area of Lodgepole pine. The mountain can be busy with up to 50 people on it on a Saturday. So if you think being in the 'wilderness' is scary rest assured you won't be alone.

That's one of the things I like about hiking. Even if you encounter others, they're usually like-minded about the outdoors. When we go to the National Parks, it's amazing to me that most people never get out of their cars, they drive right past stuff and what few do get out, they don't go out on dayhikes or out in the backcountry. That's fine with me, I'm trying to get away from people.

Seeing your blog, makes me think that besides my usual blog, I should have one for our various dayhikes and my Hubby's backcountry hikes.
