Anza-Borrego - Sombrero and Whale Peaks

[wingding]

Roy, Ben, Tony and I hiked from Indian Canyon Road to the summit of Sombrero Peak on Saturday and then Tony and I camped in Blair Valley and did the hike to Whale Peak via the Pictograph Trail/Smuggler's Canyon. It was a great couple of days with really nice company - a great way to end the year.

Here are pictures from the hikes:

The view of Granite Peak from Whale Peak was great, so if anyone is interested in doing the hike to Granite Peak let me know - I'd like to get it done sometime this winter.

Beautiful pictures Kathy! Really different area it looks like..Smugglers Canyon looks pretty cool.
Looks so dry and warm there ..you are so lucky you live pretty close to these desert areas, especially in the winter for hiking..I wish I lived closer to them.
Thank you for posting!
