The same portion of the Trinity mountains...
not quite so close up.... I never get tired of
seeing this range of mountains.
Simply glorious and this was on my drive
to the dump. Not everyone sees  this on their
way to the dump.  We are so lucky to be living here.

A-Z 2014 Challenge H is for Helado


Helado = Ice Cream
I needed some ice cream after this hike!


Yesterday I took a hike up
Black Butte- I've been wanting
to do this for ages!


We first walked by Mt Shasta-
it has a bit more snow now...


Past the Eddy mountains...



Above is the summit ....


Ahead is the boulder strewn path...


On my left is a long drop....


I turned around at this point on the trail-
I wimped out! It was another 1000'
to climb and not quite a mile to the top.
But as my hiking friend said when
he got back from going to the top-
"I should have stopped too"
I guess the path didn't improve and was
pretty difficult coming back down.
We both needed ice cream....two scoops!
Maybe a triple scoop ice cream cone!
