Pinnacles in the clouds

Mountain lions! See that always makes me wonder. This is a predator that would have no trouble bringing down a human ... and feeding off you. How safe is it to go hiking in country where there are Mountain Lions?

I like those shots. Very cool section of walking trail indeed.

Gary looks like a Ben to me.

eh, the thought that one would actually attack and eat me never crossed my mind. I've hiked in California wilderness before (Panamint mountains that make up one side of Death Valley) and never had a problem. I don't think we're high on their to do lists.

I just noticed on the bridge shot that you can see raindrops. Just after this was a very steep staircase...so steep it was a ladder, really, and that steel handrail got very slippery.

Very cool set! Love the color of that canyon.

Thanks. The rock has a really wide range of colors & it seemed that almost every time we came up a new switchback, there was a new shade.
