Kings Canyon Hike, November 28, 2014

It was an exceptional weather day for late November; sunny, warm and very clear. We took advantage of the day and had a great hike to the saddle between the Kings Canyon trail and the Sweetwater trail, where we had lunch. On the return trip we stopped to view the stone house and the petroglyphs.

 

 

Baby Jesus Loop Hike, November 21, 2014

The road into the trailhead left a bit to be desired but we made it in with the aid of a lot of pickup trucks. It was worth the ride as we had just a fabulous day in the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains. That is a very scenic and special place and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves on the hike.. The backdrop of the mountains, the varied vegetation and the rock formations all add up to an exceptional experience.
