Viejas Mountain

This series of photos were taken one Saturday while hiking up Viejas mountain, which is on an Indian reservation just east of "Dudeville". It's about a 1600 foot rise in elevation over about three miles.




The photo to the lower left is of Medina and me near the summit, which is along a ridge. The trail comes to a crest, which is south of this point. The crest is marked by the stone pyramid that you see below.


It got fairly cold near the top, which was just short of a mile in elevation. The ocean was barely visible about 13 miles to the west through the atmospheric haze.
