Hike to the Dominquez Hill Cross

The start of the trail marker.
There are actually several trails that start here.
And it was a pretty Fall day.


Kate wanted to stay ahead and 
did run a lot to do it.


Alex wanted to bring his bike but
a flat tire didn't make him a happy walker.

Resting time. Although the trail
 is not a hard hike, it does take some energy.



It took a while to get him happy 
but at the end he was having fun.


The view up the canyon was beautiful.


A face in the mud.
Halloween time apparently.
Or the stone monsters from 
Frozen 2 in the rocks.


This is where the trail got a little steeper 
and a lot less shade.



Did make for some photo ops.

There's the cross.


and another family of the mountain.


Guess who is King in the family.

And of course the prince.


Find Kate

Found her



We came down different trails. 
They were pretty steep




Ended up at the little reservoir for some fish watching
and rock skipping.

Hobble Creek Canyon Hike September 27, 2020

Kate's birthday 9/27/20
Her new bike needed broken in on her birthday

There were even fish there to help her celebrate

The path was nice and paved

so the bike and scooter could go 
much faster than those of us walking

they just had to wait on us.

It was a beautiful fall day

Alex wanted his picture taken 
so I just had o follow.

1st stop on a rock

and then we started finding golf balls





 this was pretty much the last time they waited 
since we were headed back and Alex's
backpack was heavy with golf balls



OK, Kate waited a little more




Meanwhile Dad found more golf balls
