A close look at the bench

Looking toward the Santa Clarita Valley

 |
Not much shade on this part of the trail!

That's the I-5 freeway

|
|

Both trails go to the same place, so we took the steeper one
|
|
 |
Now we've started down the other side of the loop

|
|
 |
This snake disappeared in a flash when I tried to get lower so you could better see that he's sticking his head up to look at us
