The last few weekends we have spent hiking the Atalaya trail on the east side of the city. Atalaya mountain is 9121ft in elevation and the hike takes about 2 hours to the top. I love it because it's so close to my home yet when your climbing the silence is just wonderful. During the next week I will be posting photos from my hike. I hope you enjoy.

You get an A for framing in this picture and a A+ for beauty!
Wonderful capture!
Well done!
Have a peaceful sunday Randy :)
A very nice perspective! I am looking forward to the rest of photos from your hike.
I understand. Our daughter lives at 9,000 feet in Colorado. When we visit we hike down the mountain to an old mining camp and creek. Of course, then we have to hike back up.
I think I'm too old for that!
Looks like a beautiful place. I'll look forward to more photos!
Great photo and look forward to more hiking photos.
I love hiking too!
Looking forward to see your photos!
Have a good Sunday!
I was watching an old episode of Grizzly Adams on the web the other day. This week is going to be perfect! Happy Sunday!
I can almost smell the pines! great hike. :)
Hiking is great. I am glad you are taking your camera and showing us views.
I always love the overwhelming quiet when we are hiking. Great shot.
What is better than silence with a view?
Beautiful views.
I am so fortunate to live within walking distance to a Calif. State Park interlaced with 40 miles of trails...less the elevation you have. Hiking is a true joy. Like Farmchick said, the quiet is overwhelming. So why do so many choose to listen to Ipods while hiking? One of the great mysteries of life for me. A great shot there Randy.
Great, I'm ready for a nice hike!
I enlarged the photo so I could see the patches of snow between the trees in the distance.
Such wonderful beauty along your hiking route!
Nice view and a great shot:)
Next best thing to being there : )
You are so lucky to have such a place close to home. Great shot - look forward to more.
Love the framing with the tree at the border. It sounds like a great hike!
Hiking is a wonderful way to spend your time, for many reasons. Nice photo.
