Pyramid Mountain

Wow. We met up with Kelly and crew at Pyramid Mountain today and what a gem of a place. We spent some time in the small, but incredibly engaging Visitor's Center before heading out on our hike.

We were in the woods about 2 1/2 hours and made it about 1/4 of the way into the journey to Tripod Rock. There was so much to look at and climb and explore. A mere few steps onto the trail and the oxygen-love from the trees enveloped us and we were transported to a different dimension.

By the time we finished our lunch on the rocks most of our party was ready to head back and that's what we did. Locals, I cannot recommend this spot highly enough. It was simply wonderful.




































(I really couldn't get enough of Sag and his hat. He hates having his picture taken these days and I have become adept at snapping him anyway, but it takes attention and time to finesse. So, today, I really didn't snap many of Gem being so distracted by the adorable Indiana Jones look adventuring in the woods.)

Have I ever told you that I love your feet pictures? Well, I do!
Picture #18...love.
And, at the risk of overdosing on the love... I love your blogs new look!

I don't think you have :-) I can't explain it, though subconsciously it may be an exercise in grounding. Proof of being where my feet are...

Pic 18...as with so many other pictures I take, I just can't take full credit. This was one lucky shot with the light hitting his face just so...

Thanks...it was fun to revamp the look of the blog...I would love to learn more and do more someday, but low maintenance is what works for me right now. I love your revamp, too.

Love your pics. A couple of really cute ones of P and of L on Kelly's back. And a great shot of Kelly's hat! I haven't been to Pyramid Mountain yet but i will make it a priority now! What a gorgeous day you had for it.

Thanks, Kate. It was a great day to be out and in the woods. I don't know why I always thought it was farther than it was...
