End Pavement

Here are some photos from yesterday’s hike.

In the Blaine St. parking lot at the bottom.

This is a Floss Silk Tree, visible alongside the road as you walk up to the trailhead. I love this tree and always take pictures when we come through here.

Close up of the Floss Silk Tree.

Part way up Two Trees Trail, looking back down on Riverside. That’s Sugar Loaf on the right.

Part way up Two Trees Trail. Photos up here seem always to come out like impressionist paintings. :)

Otis digging food out of his pack while we take a breather in the parking lot halfway up.

Pharaoh takes a break while I check out directions.

Confirming the GPS is pointing things out properly. ;)

Alex spies an interesting bird and sneaks up for a picture.

From the midway parking lot, looking up the trail leading to the top.

On our way again.

Alex and Otis work out the local geography.

That white shape is part of the giant letter “M” overlooking Moreno Valley, at the top of Box Springs.

Pharaoh is pooped. :)

Reche Peak to the left, with Reche Canyon and the area around Hulda Crooks Park just beyond.
