It was a little bit of a drive…
 |
| From 2008 03/14-19 Trip to Cali |
I didn’t get very many good pictures on the way up the mountain….too crowded.
 |
| From 2008 03/14-19 Trip to Cali |
Here we are at the top! What a view of the valley!
 |

My hubby admires the view.
 |

There were trails to explore too.
 |

I found a great big pinecone!

And a big tree.
 |
| From 2008 03/14-19 Trip to Cali |
My hubby is so strong, he was able to push that big tree….just a little!
 |
| From 2008 03/14-19 Trip to Cali |
It was a little chilly up there on the mountain, but the sun helped keep us warm!
 |
| From 2008 03/14-19 Trip to Cali |
There was snow up there too……ahhhhhh! Reminders of winter back home!
 |

I walked between this giant log.

Awwww, my happy hubby.

He’s showing off more of his strength.

Back towards the building/tram.

Now we’re on our way back down the mountain on the tram!
 |
| From 2008 03/14-19 Trip to Cali |
I was able to get much better pictures this time.
 |
| From 2008 03/14-19 Trip to Cali |
Pictures just don’t do it justice.
 |
| From 2008 03/14-19 Trip to Cali |
You can see the entire valley from up here.

The tram has a floor that slowly moves, allowing everyone to get a 350-degree view of the scene!
 |
| From 2008 03/14-19 Trip to Cali |
We’re almost back to the bottom!
 |
| From 2008 03/14-19 Trip to Cali |
This is the tram.
 |
| From 2008 03/14-19 Trip to Cali |
Safely at the bottom once more, we got a picture together using the camera’s timer.

This is a new bulb we planted just a few weeks ago. It’s called a Narcissis (?) — if I’m remembering correctly.

This is a little maple tree that is waking up from a long, winter doze. My hubby plans to grow it into a Bonsai tree.
