The original plan was to hike Saddleback and The Horn today, but once at the summit of Saddleback, the clouds were thick with less than ideal visibility, so we decided to turn back.
The hike up the ski trails was very straightforward. There are numerous “uphill access†signs you can follow. Part way up, a few construction vehicles were doing work, so be careful, but it was possible to go around them with caution.
Lupines on the ski trails were stunning! |
