Hiking Southern California Style
June 25, 2011
Frame Family reunions…
They’re held every two years, with locations moving around the country. This year, 30 of us gathered in Arcadia, a smaller than usual crowd.
Typically, we gather in the evenings for dinner, but split up for daytime activities based on interests. Today, some went to the Norton Simon museum, some went to the Huntington Library and gardens…
…and some, seven of us, went hiking, including Jim’s 86-year-old dad. Here are some shots on the Sturtevant Falls hike in the Angeles National Forest, Santa Anita Canyon, Chantry Recreation Area… Peter powering up the hill:
A lizard on the rock I was sitting on.. Monica was so kind to point him out.
Same lizard, taking in view of falls.
A rattle snake slipping behind a rock. Huge.
Cousins Ben and Peter, contemplating the falls. These boys have done a lot of hiking together over the years.
Sturtevant Falls.
Ben goes in.
Jim senior never ceases to amaze. Four miles with significant hill climbing on a warm day. Not bad at all.
