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! |
