Started off with the sun shining without a cloud in the sky.... we could clearly see the snow capped mountains from the kitchen window. We started of with brunch at IN N OUT BURGERS where we had freshly made cheeseburgers (they dont freeze their meat) and animal style fries (freshly cut chips with cheese and big mac style sauce). It was nasty!! They only have 3 items on their menu but there is an exclusive underground menu that only the locals know about. It was the perfect meal just before a hike...
We finally arrive at San Anita mountain where we were greeted by a wild squirrel. it was soooo cute but apparently they're abit of a pest around here. It was quite chilly despite the sun shining but once we started walking it warmed up nicely. The scenery was very pretty with lots of golden leaves and waterfalls. We passed many cute cabins which are sometimes rented to backpackers.
The trail led us to the top of the waterfall but at one stage we had lost the marked trail and instead had to climb the rocks and over the water. Just as Jan mentioned that the place looked familiar but she didnt recall the hike being this intense, we look up to see the "lost" marked trail right in front of us.
After 2hours and 45mins we made it back to the car in once piece (the last leg of the hike was a steep incline & we thought we saw a lion mountain paw on our way back) we were glad to be heading back home.
Fiona tested out her driving skills on the drive home and did so well. She drove on the freeway as well as the busy streets and stayed on the right side of the road the whole time (although she had to lean her body to the right to stay between the lanes... lol!!). We've found our driver to take us all the way down the east coast. yay!
We were supposed to catch a Laker game but unfortunately we were unable to get tickets.
So instead we had a delicious thai dinner and rested up.
