Trip Report/Photos

Our hike started at 9:50 and we had 20 members from the Gay Outdoors and the Great Outdoors.  It was a perfect day for hiking in Southern California.  We had mid-70's weather with clear beautiful blue skies.  The recent rains had greened up the hills and was very beautiful.  We had views of the various island in the Pacific and could see snowcapped Mt Baldy to the east, as well as the mountains in Palm Springs.  After the hike we had a social at a coffeehouse.  A nice day all in all.
