| no partners | | Practice warm-up hike for tomorrow. I have been doing tourist hiking so much that I feel a bit out of real hiking shape... but when it's a Superbloom, what's a Tibber to do  . Anyway, I parked below the TH and hiked clockwise. The Brittlebush seems to be blooming in sections so I photographed it as I wrapped around the mountain.
The lizards were out. In fact, one cracked me up as he raced by and then stopped, he looked like he was panting from running past me, but was still able to show off with doing push-ups. Later as I was hiking on the western side a beautiful red-tailed hawk zoomed past me and another bird in pursuit. It was so awesome to see I clapped my hands.
The clouds whisped through the sky, thus shielding the sun and added shade to go along with a nice breeze for the last part of my hike. If it's like that tomorrow, I should do okay on the scheduled hike, even though it's supposed to be warmer. I continued the hike and ended up documenting/photographing the patches of Brittlebush as it was bright and beautiful; much prettier than my pictures depicted.
WATCH 2:17-3:40PM, 3.36 mi, 1507-1765 elevation. 134 bpm/171 max burning 549 calories. Temp 69.8 Sunny and 8% humidity. |

Oh, and once in awhile, don't forget to look back at the trail you've traveled. |
