Two thrilling walks over the weekend. First was over Hart Fell near #Moffat and along the narrowest ridge line I’ve followed. Yesterday was Grey Mare’s Tail, then around the horseshoe above it.
Fun fact: Grey Mare’s Tail is so called because the drive from Edinburgh is an absolute ‘mare.
This is a Mariposa lily I found on my hike today at Henry Coe park, southeast of San Jose, California. It is my favorite local wildflower. #hiking#photography#wildflowers#mariposalily
#Laphoto2023dujour n°138 : Le Krysuvikur-Maelifell (228 m alt), au sud du système volcanique de Krysuvik, le 1er mai 2023. Randonnée accessible via la piste 427.
A less well known viewpoint on the Lynn Peak route, looking towards the Grouse range. Appropriate as the deep booming sound of the #grouse reminded me I was but a visitor to its terrain. The rocks I was sitting on were scarred by glacier induced striations, which was impressive as they're at 900+m altitude. #mountains#phonephotography#nature#hiking#britishcolumbia
I’m hanging out at the famous Blue Pool this morning eating lunch and drying out my tent. It rained a bit while I slept but was only misting by the time I was packing up. I’ve already covered a large portion of the trail last night and this morning. This trail is a gem, I love it out here. I believe the waterfall corridor is next. Just a quick post, more photos to come.
We took yesterday off to decompress and celebrate Gypsy's long life with a hike at Banning State Park, a place we'd not had a chance to visit in a while.
While we miss Gypsy greatly, it is nice to return to hiking with one dog each, at a pace where we can all keep together...
Low hanging clouds obscure the 1250m+ mountains on either side, with the forest and river contending for space in the valley. #river#pacificnorthwest#nature#hiking
