Beautiful hike, even for being on fire roads for most of it~

This is a hike you will not want to do in the summer - the majority of the trails are exposed to full sun.

Hello there!




Gossip Rock











What a beauty!

Flew off into the tree - waiting for us to leave.

Sorry dude - lunch time!

He/she decided not to wait.

Bye - thanks for the company!









So pretty! Didn't go this way though.



Skinny little bridges.

Huge nest.

Huge poison oak leaves!

Huge rock! Are we in Texas? Everything is huge out here - trails, snakes, birds, nests, leaves..
