Last Sunday we found a truly worthy hiking locale in the LA area!  We started out at Trippet Ranch, part of Topanga State Park, and hiked up to Eagle Rock; a.k.a. Elephant Rock – though it doesn’t look like an eagle or an elephant, so not sure what the debate’s about.  It was mostly fire roads for trails, but the views were great.  And since I’ve been glued to my chair working on school projects (and Christmas crafts, mostly), it felt really good to get out and stretch m’ legs with m’ lady!

 

Thar she blows!  Doesn’t look quite as impressive from here, but wait for the views from the top.  Wow!

The top!

 

 

The mountains way off in the background are actually those of Catalina Island.  On a clear day you could see the ocean in between, but the low lying clouds were creating a misty veil on this particular afternoon.

 

 

 

No look behind the back.  Even I’m impressed!

 

And if you’ve ever wondered what a pomegranate tree looks like…voila.

 

Cheers!
