Spent alot of my California time in the Thousand Oaks area, west of L.A. and with the Santa Monica mountains within reach.
|
Les & I squeezing in a run before nightfall up trailhead for Mt Boney |
|
Barely made it back to the car before complete darkness. Fall-time darkness sneaks up quick and it's pitch black in these canyons.
Always carry a headlamp! |
|
Starting to descend as the sun is setting.
Thousand Oaks in the background |
|
Views of the Santa Monica mountains from the peak of a run I went on with Les from his workplace in Newbury Park.
An escape from suburbia just like that! |
|
At the same peak, the views to the southwest shows the flatlands to the ocean waters |
BERNARDO SUMMIT TRAIL
First time hike up Bernardo Summit in San Diego County when I was staying in Escondido. Easy access to park to get to the trailhead, then a quick couple km and 500' elevation gain.
|
I discovered the Bernardo Summit Trail on my MTB ride around Lake Hodges. Saw the sign and had to find out where it lead to... an awesome ride-able rocky technical trail to the peak! |
|
Enjoying the sunset views from the peak of Bernardo Summit, after an earlier road ride through those same hills |
|
The views to the west where the ocean lingers only 30 km away |
|
Looking to bump into my hiking partner on my way down.
I thought it was Paul hoo-ing at me! |
