Whitewater Canyon Preserve Hike

Had a great time yesterday up at Whitewater Canyon with the Desert Cities group of CMG (California Men’s Gathering). I’d never been up to the end of the canyon road before and had no idea the Bighorn Sheep were there and I saw them, for the first time! (see pix)

2 Sheep in this photo, can you see them?

King of the Hill

The literature says there’s also bears there though we didn’t see any (at least of the kind that make their home there). The hills are covered in green, so unlike the desert for most of the year – so I was very much in Von Trapp family mode, daydreaming that we were being led by Julie Andrews over the alps to the safety of Switzerland, away from the evil Nazis (though if Rolf wants to join us, we’d let him…).

Anyway, I digress. I love the landscape shots, especially the ones with Mount San Jacinto (snowy peak) in the background. I’m going to try and resize some of these to use as the banner image on the blog. A great morning with the guys and thanks again to Alan for setting it all up!
