The Lodgepoles on Mt. Baden are beautiful. These trees are some of my favorite trees to see. Of course many folks can 'cheat' and drive to these trees in many areas throughout California. However I prefer walking to them.
This is Sun rise at 8600 feet.
Yes! Victory! Not that it is all that hard. But to the kids they seem to think so.
David my son did run the last 3/4 of a mile up though.
Victory does have cost though.
This monument was erected in 1957 by a Boy Scout troop to honor Lord Baden Powell Father of the Boy Scouts. This was an Eagle project. The troop carried up the cement and water and wood to erect this memorial to Lord Powell. As you can see it sometimes fills in as a resting spot for weary souls.

Oh to be young again! I can't picture me runnning 3-4 steps let alone 3/4 of a mile! Ha Ha! The view of the sunrise was worth the price, simply beautiful! I'm familiar with Lord Baden-Powell since I was a Girl Scout leader for 6 years and its founder, Juliet Gordon Lowe was inspired by him to start an organization for girls.
