1. Crossing the stream...what the hell am I looking at?
2. A pretty tree...we got to the park after postponing the trip for the past 2 weekends. The colors were still great. There were alot of people there but everyone was spread out o.k. so it didn't seem so crowded. To see the colorful trees you have to hike into McKittrick Canyon...it's the only way to see 'em.
3. This is what the trail looked like. We hiked 4.8 miles....round trip. No paved areas, nothing but rocks and roots so you had to always watch the ground and then stop to look at the views. No restrooms...and no water. It was hard but the last quarter mile was REALLY rough....at least for me...I was pretty pooped by then. I even saw and heard some "in shape" younger folks complaining. We had to cross 2 streams on stepping stones and that was kinda fun.
4., 5., 6., 7. More pretty trees.
8. A ridge against a very blue sky.
9. Gene at the beginning of our trek. The weather was fine...not too hot.
