Catch up Hikes from January

Trona Pinnacles, CA
January 5, 2012


These are the strangest rock formations.  We drove a few hours to see them and hiked around and drove through them.  If you pay attention, there are several car commercials filmed here.  Also, there are several science-fiction movies filmed here.  It was really cool.



This is me at 31 weeks.


To get an idea of size on this pinnacle, look at the next picture compared to our truck.

Icehouse Canyon Saddle, CA

We drove up to see the snow, hike around, and maybe ride the ski lift up to the top.  Turns out, it was $12 a person to ride the lift with no snow.  So we drove around till we found this hike.  It was a great hike, and it turned out to be a little more than 7 miles round trip.  I kept saying I would just go a little more and then ended up doing the whole thing.  It was a beautiful day.


These next two pictures are taken in the same spot.  One side of the trail was still winter and the other side was full-blown summer.  It was crazy to see.
