Fun With Chris and Jane

Our various adventures on California trails (and elsewhere)

November 21, 2011 – Islay Hill

November 21, 2011 – Islay Hill

September 7, 2012 Chris Comments 0 Comment

While Jane took a rest day and shopped with her Aunt Bev in SLO, Chris did a solo walk up Islay Hill, the easternmost of the Nine (or Seven, depending on your source) Morros that lie in and around San Luis Obispo.  The western and southern slopes were sunny and warm, while the shaded north slope was quite cool and damp. Once at the summit, the views east across Edna Valley were particularly nice, with even a glimpse of snow-capped Mt. Pinos on the extreme horizon. Chris climbed the short telephone pole at the top for slightly improved views, then headed back down the trail. Not a long or strenuous hike by any means, but an enjoyable outing nonetheless. No camera, only BlackBerry photos available.

Over the last few years, we have discovered - or really, re-discovered - our common love of hiking. Although we typically enjoy the proverbial mountaintop experience and the sense of accomplishment that comes with reaching some summit or another, we sometimes prefer easier trips that are less taxing. In any case, we hope the visitor appreciates not just the natural beauty of the California areas to which we have been, but in some small way participates with us in the experience as well. We spend several weekends in Pismo Beach each year, so much of our hiking takes place on the Central Coast. We also like camping in the Sierras, so we've done several trips along the Great Western Divide and the Kern Plateau. Additionally, we have done a group hike (known as Chris and Jane's Excellent Adventure) with family and friends each Labor Day since 2009 - these trips are included in their own page. Finally, we recently purchased a cabin in Wrightwood, so many of our latest hikes have been in the eastern San Gabriel mountains. Enjoy the site!
