Bishop’s Peak
We went for another hike today. This time up to Bishop’s Peak, which is pretty close to home. It’s about 450’ of altitude gain from the parking lot, over a 2.2 mile loop, and we made it up and around. Had to take a few breaks for air on the way up, but we’re still getting used to living at the altitude here, even after a year.
It was a nice hike, though. And when we got to the top, we could see across the freeway to Café Fina, and the Sangre de Cristos, and we could see our house in the other direction. We’re one of the few houses that has a white roof, so that made it easier to find our place.
Beautiful fall weather today, too. About 65 degrees, with a light wind, and a few clouds to give us a break from the sunshine every now and again.
We also got to see a lot more Emory Oak today. I didn’t know oak trees grew this close to home, but there they are. They’re not exactly monsters, but they’re oaks. They’ve mostly dropped their leaves already, due to the dry year this year, though.
