Off in the distance you could just make out the Salton Sea. |
Looking back over the Coachella Valley with Palm Springs, Indio, Palm Desert, etc. in the foreground |
At the top we reached a plateau populated with ranches. Lots of horses and cattle among the pines |
The pines grow some pretty big pine cones. |
Looking up under the branches of a big Pine. Tip. Don't lean against the trunk. You will come away covered in pine sap. |
One of the smaller pine cones. Some were over a foot long. |
The San Gorgonio Pass below with the San Bernardino mountains in the distance. |
This hawk just hung there looking for lunch. I'm sure it could have stayed there for hours without flapping its wings just riding the air currents |
The windmills cover the San Gorgonio pass |
The drive back down. I'm ok on the inside but when in the outside lane and all I can see is sky my heart beats a little faster, the palms start sweating and I grip the wheel real tight. |
Next up the Palm Springs Arial Tramway and more snow.
