Mt. San Jacinto Outdoor Recreation

Howdy All

Due to the heat, Marilyn, Sally and I got an early start up Baldy via Register Ridge on Baldy last Wed. While still climbing, we saw Marilyn gesturing madly and were treated to a herd of big horn sheep.







A couple of little horns





Sally also took an amazing video which is posted on Facebook.

Then there were the cool clouds and rainbow.

Wonderful photos. In the 1970's, I nearly always saw bighorn sheep on the Bear Flats Trail, and never human beings other than the people I was with, weekends or weekdays. On the Ski Hut Trail, I sometimes saw them on weekdays, on which you normally had the trail to yourself. On Skyline, I've seen both bighorns and deer, but not often and always on weekdays.

Wow - that is so cool. Here is a website you might enjoy

Those are great closeups. We saw a herd of maybe 10 ewes on the top of Parsons Peak in Yosemite last weekend. Always feels like a true wilderness when I see them, especially in the high country.

Super nice pics!
