Continuing from yesterday’s post at the halfway point, I crossed the footbridge over the creek and started on the path uphill for the return portion of the hike. 
As I reached the crest, I found the view, past rocky outcroppings, over canyons, and on to mountains miles in the distance, to be spectacular. 
I was now nearly eye-level with the treetops of the palms and brilliant yellow sycamores, as well. Truly breathtaking!
The gallery below highlights the remainder of the hike. My fellow hikers obliged by taking my picture, while I did the same for them, wishing to document ourselves against that spectacular backdrop. The plant life along this stretch of the trail was interesting, but I have to admit being so thoroughly captivated by the distant views that I wasn’t paying too much attention. As I approached the trail starting point, and heard numerous voices and saw groups starting out on the trail, I commended myself for my early start, and that I was able to enjoy those views without distraction.
I’d like to wish each and every fellow blogger and/or visitor a very healthy, happy 2015. ~SueBee (photos by SueBee)
