December 20, 2011 - Hike 32B

Castaic Lake Recreation Area - California

1.2 Miles
DOES NOT COUNT AS ONE OF MY 50 HIKES - DIDN'T QUITE MAKE THE REQUIRED 2 MILES




After a break for a late lunch, Ken and I headed out for a 2nd hike at Castaic Lake. This time, the trail started high on a bluff above the lake. It decended very steeply to the lake. It was a beautiful hike but we knew we would have to do an upper trail to make my required minimum 2 miles in order to count as one of my 50. Unfortunately, the hike back up was so steep it took longer than expected and the kids called and wanted to be picked up early so I had to abandon the plan of hiking the upper trail.

Still, it was a beautiful hike and I wanted to add it to my blog.....so it is officially hike 32B. At the bottom of the trail near the lake we were able to log a geocache. The terrain was very steep but the cache was easy to find. Yea!

As you can see from the picute above, I was really enjoying the fact that I had to wear sun glasses. Ken too! (See below) The view was very nice from lake level.
