After spending a wonderful Easter with Nick and Val, Mallory and Rudy, we headed back to one of our favorite spots – Wrightwood California, in the San Gabriel Mountains. We were surprised when we got there that the Mountain High Ski Resort was still open. While only one chair was open and a couple of runs, the parking lot was packed and the runs were busy.
Our main mission was to escape the growing heat in the Vegas valley. However, as we always do when we are anywhere nearby, we set out to find sections of the Pacific Crest Trail that we had not hiked before. The big bonus for us this time of year is that folks through hiking from South to North were often just setting out at this time of year. We actually stumbled on, and talked with, a fair number of folks coming by on their way to the Canadian border.
We managed to find quite a few sections of the PCT that were new to us. Of course, the Woman was beside herself with joy. Even the pooch wanted to get into the act. I don’t know exactly how many miles we checked off on this visit, but I do know that it was well north of 6 (12 round trip). What a nice visit, and the weather was awesome!
Talk to you soon.
