Harley Peak 03-29-2008

This was my second time up this peak overlooking Kernville. Met with members of the KRVHC for a day of hiking. I left a little early as I wanted to bag Pk4176 which leads up from the singing gate. It is a hill really but has great overviews of Kernville and some of the surrounding flower-laden canyons. Almost everyone summited including Kathy in her walking cast(she can't wait to get that thing off by now). Doug showed us the old trail to the Harley Mine and several of us went down to explore. We found were the mine office, Smitty's shop and tram tower(foundation still stands). Seven of us took the old miners trail down to Kernville and were rewarded as the trail lead right through some great hillsides of wildflowers including poppies and lupine.
