J is for Jaunty Journey
There are few words in Spanish
that begin with the letter J....
Yesterday we took a Jaunty Journey
( otherwise known as a short 7 mile hike)
at Castle Crags State Park.
We chose to hike the 7 mile round trip
Flume trail and it was a glorious

Hikers reward seeing the Castle Crags!
These mountains never fail to amaze me.
Our view while eating our lunch!
We were even on the PCT for awhile!
We crossed quite a few creeks
and since it was warm we did
not mind getting our feet a bit wet!
Final photo...what a great day!
Beautiful area. And seven miles means you got a workout.
ReplyDeleteNature is so powerful that trees were tossed so casually about as if we were tossing about matchsticks. I cannot easily comprehend that massive power of nature. The strength of nature though allows for a rugged beauty that awes our senses - what a great day for a hike!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great day!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely incredible! This would be a adventure and a half!
ReplyDeleteGreat 'J' day for you!! (smile)
What beautiful hike. Looks like lovely weather as well.
ReplyDeleteThat's a hike I would love, Kathe! And that view! :) I'm thinking I saw some Indian Rhubarb or something like it on our cliff tops the other day, but I could be mistaken. The dogwoods look lovely. Don't you love Spring? :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely jaunt! Thank you for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures, nice place for a walk, excellent!
ReplyDeleteHow thrilling to be out enjoying this marvelous landscape.
ReplyDeleteWow, that looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great day.The dogwood blossoms are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful world for hiking. So many beautififul views and lots of green.
ReplyDeleteHow fun. I would have loved this day too.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous Sunday my friend. Scritches to Miss Lucy. :)
I haven't seen a dogwood in bloom for a number of years. Thanks for the photo.
ReplyDeleteNice treat at the end of the hike! I'l bet that forest is scary at night though.
ReplyDeletea great hike to enjoy for a long time. Beautiful scenery.
ReplyDeleteIf you like trees n bushes I have a new meme for them. On my blog nfmacro.blogspot.com. New edition tomorrow if you like. :)
I wouldn't call 7-miles a short hike. lol This looks like a beautiful place. I didn't know where this is until I asked Google. I knew it had to be somewhere out west, though by the mountains and I was right. I'm in East Tennessee. We have the Smoky Mountains (45-minutes)south of us and that's our favorite weekend retreat. It looks like you had a gorgeous day! It's nice meeting you through the A2Z hop (by way of Alex J Cavanaugh).
ReplyDeleteLovely photos! Those Castle Crags are beautiful! Sounds like a wonderful hike.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteI, too, hate those word verifications. Thank you for not using them. I've found that moderating comments takes very little time.
I'd love to invite you to join in on this week's Wordless Wednesday (on Tuesday) linky:
