Another Hike

Today I met up with Ricardo and we decided to go hiking so we found this turn out on the padua side just before it goes up Baldy Road and started walking and found a cool Lupine Area that was just filled with Lupines. We chilled there for a minute then started the hike back up the fire road and it actually started to kick it up a notch and was getting to my calves and fast. We Got to where it splits off and goes down to Claremont Wilderness we decide then to summit the closest peak and let me tell you it wasnt easy i was hurting the whole way but we pushed on and my hat is off to Ricardo for pushing it in flip flops. Too intense for me to do in flip flops but kudos to him. We then hit the summit of it and the view looked like this.........
It was a good hike and an even better view then on the way down we kicked it into gear and ran down some sketchy sections and saw a Garter Snake. And this cool colored Scrophuliaceae Diplacus aurantiacus or Commonly known as the Bush Monkey Flower.
