This photograph is speaking to me. Here is a valley with two mountain sides. This canyon is located on the backside of the San Bernardino Mountains, and it just is calling to me visually. There is no need to be on one mountainside or the other. Perhaps I will just explore the valley below.
Sometimes it’s hard to see the valleys for the mountains. I hope you really did get to explore the valley!
I did explore this valley many years ago, but not during this hike. I really want to go down there again because there is actually an old wagon trail that goes all the way to Hesperia, and you can see the marks the wheels once made in valley.
