| I spent the long Veteran's Day Weekend with my sister in the quaint town of Winters, CA which is near Berryessa-Snow Mountain National Monument. On Saturday we hiked the Homestead-Blue Ridge Loop Trail which climbs a steep 1,300 feet above the canyon, traverses a rocky ridge which is Class 3 at times, then descends steeply back down again in about 5 miles. We enjoyed the fog-shrouded hills, the views of Lake Berryessa, and the festive toyon berry bushes the most. |
| Can't decide whether I liked this in b+w or color the best |
| There are three big rock piles that you have to climb up and over |
| Indian Paintbrush blooming in November! |
| The ridge had a very steep dropoff |
| Festive toyon berries, for which Hollywood was named |
| Small spring along the trail, above Licen and moss, below |
| Ruins of the old homestead |
