Pinnacle Panoramas

First lookout, a good time to take a break and enjoy the view. The real climb was about to start.
See the tiny trail in the photo? Hard to believe I was there a while back.
The green chaparral will soon become fire hazard in the summer. 
The pine trees on the trail are so lovely. 
On a clear day like this, the view is unbelievable. The toughest part of my trip was about to begin, though.
The highest point of my hike, also the toughest part, I had to use both my hands and my feet to climb the steep stairs. (I heard a "you have got mail" ring from my cell phone at this place. Verizon's reception is really amazing.)
Going home from now on was all down hill, it felt like a breeze.
It was almost dusk and too dark for any hand held panorama. I promised myself I would be back with a tripod next time.
