Blue Mountain Training Hikes, May 30 & 31

[63ChevyII]

I’ve been extremely busy at home lately and my training leading up to my High Sierra Trail hike has dropped off. I’ve been trying to stay in shape with hikes in the local hills, as well as hitting the treadmill (30 lb pack and hiking boots, 15% incline, 2.8 mph) several times per week to stay in shape.

Anyway, here are some photos of my most recent hike(s). Short but strenuous. Click one of the photos to go to the full gallery (30+ photos):

A look at the landscape. The hill with the tower to the right is Blue Mountain.


Moonrise in front of me, the sunset to my back. I believe that is San Jacinto to the lower left in the distance.
