To prepare ourselves for our "big hike" Mt. Whitney we've been hiking every weekend. We had the opportunity to hike up to Ice House Saddle. There is a canyon that you can actually hike to but because we started late in the day we just went to the saddle. It was only a couple of miles but it was a good uphill hike for those couple of miles. It was sure beautiful. Kenny & Laura came to enjoy on all the fun with us. It was a BLAST!!!
A view of where we are hiking to. If you look closely you can see the waterfall.

Here is the view from the saddle looking back from where we came from.
On our way down the mountain we were trying to hurry down b/c we were going to the beach for a bon-fire. We'll we were running down the mountain and Kenny fell, from the picture you can see his battle wounds and Laura inflicting more pain by shoving the walking stick into the wound deeper. Good thing Kenny was able to still walk after this.
This is a pretty cool stream that we were able to hike along about 60% up the mountain it was beautiful.
Huntington Beach...aww...need we say more? After a nice hike in the mountains and snow we were able to enjoy a nice bon-fire at the beach. How many other places in the world can you enjoy the mountains and beach in the same day? (Hawaii yes but for now we are happy where we are at.) We sure love living in California.
Wish we lived closer!
