Patches of ice were scattered about, having fallen from the trees.

The wind was blowing ice missiles (from the trees) all over the place.

Cold windy day for late April. The trees near the top were caked in ice.

Double Mountain behind the trees.

Someone left a box with a pad for hikers to sign.

The sun was waning and I realized I needed to pick up the pace.

The start of the steep climb. The higher I went the greater the snow coverage.

Already a promising start to my snow hike.

People somehow got lost up here recently so arrows were installed near the top to direct hikers.

More bad air off in the distance. If you were down there it would look "clear", but up here we know better.

Sitting in my usual spot on the summit.

The very hazy San Joaquin Valley below.
09-09-2017; 9:03am I carefully hiked down a steep slope to investigate the smoldering logs.
09-09-2017; 9:02am A small brush fire broke out earlier in the week. It was still smoldering!
09-09-2017; 8:23am
Parts of the trail near the top were pink from fire retardant.
09-09-2017; 7:29am I liked this shot of the moon.
06-10-2017; 10:11am I saw three deer on this hike. This one was on the side of the road when I was leaving.

The fog made everything look spooky.

An unusually cold day in June. It was in the 30s and raining at the top of the mountain.

A map of my route starting at the green arrow up top. The right side is the alternate path I took up the mountain. The left is the proper route I took back down.
05-27-2017; 8:26am
Jokes on the sign. I can from the opposite direction!

Another great view. The snowcapped Sierra Nevada can be seen in the far distance.
05-27-2017; 8:26am
Some kind of pink flowers.
05-27-2017; 8:26am It offered some of the best views on the mountain.
05-27-2017; 8:26am
The first half of the hike was much shadier and moist than the traditional trail.
05-27-2017; 8:26am
I took an alternate route up to Tehachapi Mountain. I think parts of this route were on private property.

05-20-2017; 11:28am I took a wrong turn and had to make up my own trail to get back on course.

The summit.

My first hike up Tehachapi Mountain. I mostly took video on this hike.
02-13-2017; 1:29pm A recent warm spell melted enough snow to allow me to drive up in the winter.
