Cerro Alto

Yesterday I enjoyed seeing these kids ready themselves for a hike on Cerro Alto . They had several  adult leaders . Good job !

Canyon photos

Most photos I post of Cerro Alto are at the summit , but there is something magical in the canyons . I made these  photos yesterday 8-19-15 with Sierra leading the way as usual .

Rinconada Trail

August 8 , 2015 , my birthday on the Rinconada Trail , the weather warm , saw a large bear print 

and large bear scat .   Sierra points out something hiding in the bushes and goes to investigate .

Note Cerro Alto mountain I point out for those of you who are not aware of this view . I hike Cerro alto daily .

I also included a oil painting I made of Sierra , inspired by the photo of her looking  at the summit this day .
