Martin: Details in the Lions Palace.
Stuck on Yoga @ 4,035 ft. (not 14,035 ft) ;-)
Quartz Peak is one of Bob's & my favorite hikes in the valley. It has a unique summit with white quartz boulders to mess around on & have lunch.
6 mile round trip hike (rated strenuous) that gains 2,500 ft in elevation. It was chilly enough on top for a stocking cap! I brought Howard here to add variety to his personal training. It was his 1st time hiking QP and he loved it.
Quartz Peak is in the Estrella Mountain range (about a 1.5 hour drive to the trailhead). 9 miles of the drive included 4 wheel drive to get over the rocks & through the deep mud. We nearly got stuck!
Here's evidence of my struggle to free the truck. Phew, so glad we made it out.
Fun morning!
What what an adventure....beautiful views....did you hit the car wash on the way home?
ReplyDeleteI didn't get to the car wash until the next day. :-)
