A few pics from my exploration there. As always, each pic is a link to a bigger version in case you like a particular pic.
That's one thing that gets me about flickr over smugmug - no medium '800 wide' picture size. Still, on with some pics.
San Bernardino - stopped at an ihop for brekky before setting off (unseen, just to the right in the pic) but drove down the street just beyond where the houses are seen. That was one street that didn't feel safe to drive down shall we say.
One of the pay stations just before driving into the park proper.
On the road just past the checkpoint to go in. No idea what it is.
What looked like broken egg shells of some description. I wonder what may have been inside...
I loved the cloud formations.
I think a lot of the shots I took were not just for the scene but for the clouds too.
The cactus garden within the park.
A close shave.
Little and large.
Looking to the road from Skull Rock.
Skull Rock.
Shadows within Hidden Valley within the park.
Hardy.
Shadowplay
Took a shot further back, but I preferred this one.
Conclusion. There were various little signs like this explaining things within hidden valley. The isolation and feeling of being 'amongst nature' as it were I think were unsurpassed within this fantastic location.
A final shot before leaving the park. Didn't visit everything (it's a massive park) but there'll be other times. I'm going back for sure.
