Granite Mountain was where we hiked for 2 trips. Of course I forgot my camera on day 1, these are scenes from day 2.
It's huge and full of granite....har, har ;)
Here's a section of it.
The left side of the mountain.
Climbing on up....
Someone was watching us!!
College guy!
The afternoon clouds/storms started coming on so we cut it a bit short. Slowly learning what I need to bring in a backpack. It's been over 20 years since I used to hike. Feel free to give me hints on what to bring, etc.
We're taking another hike on Friday, but it'll be near a lake, probably cooler. Now if we remember to bring the binoculars....
More pics here!

our local mountain rescue organization recommends to bring the 10 essentials on every hike:
1. navigation: map, compass, and GPS, if you have
2. light: a torch or headlamp
3. fire: matches or a lighter, packed waterproof
4. a knife
5. protection from rain and cold weather: sweater, socks, rain jacket, rain pants
6. protection from sun: sunscreen and hat
7. first aid kit (and know how to use it)
8. extra food and extra water (bring more than you think you need, just in case)
9. a big orange plastic bag, that can be emergency shelter, and also makes it easy for rescuers to find you
10. communication: cellphone and maybe other things like two way radios, or a sat phone or spot.
I keep all my hiking gear in a big plastic tote, have the above list taped to the inside of the lid: and hiking prep becomes easy and quick, which means I go out to the hills more often.
Have fun!!!!
That is a BEAUTIFUL place to hike. Love the picture of the deer (and the dear ---- cute guy!)
Have fun down by the lake.
That is one beautiful hike you went on. I have never been hiking myself but I would bring extra water, extra food, flash light, compass, walkie- talkies and something to take care of rattle snakes.
I really envy you for hiking! Last time I did it - I was just married!
