It was another foggy day down low, but exceedingly pleasant up on Skyline. I decided to take advantage of the warm weather up there, and did another long hike. I’m enjoying exploring trails I haven’t done before, although in an area that I’m very familiar with, at least as far as the roads around the trails are concerned. With some rain predicted in the next day or two, I enjoyed being able to get some warm and sun before then.
No fog on the ridge, but some high clouds, which didn’t impair the warmth in any wayPoison Oak can cause a severe rash? You don’t say.It was shaded and cool as the trail followed Stevens CreekBridge Selfie, as I crossed one of the branches of Stevens CreekLots of mushrooms on the shady trailI crossed Skyline and was soon walking along the edge of Horseshoe LakeHere I am following the lake shore, if you’re interested in that sort of thingLake Selfie. It was nice to be able to strip down to short sleeves on such a nice day.A view of the Black Mountain summit across SkylineNice view out to the oceanNice wildflowers along the trailA couple of ducks enjoying Alpine PondPanorama from Borel Hill.
