Mount Pinos, Kern Country, CA. 11.6.16

My niece Nicole and her boyfriend Zach are visiting California from Toronto for a couple of weeks. We took them to our cabin up in the mountain last weekend. Wife loves hiking so we drove 1/2 hour to the Nordic Base from our cabin after breakfast and did a 4 mile round-trip hike at Mount Pinos. It was very tiring to hike at 8,500+ feet elevation, but the cool weather and over casted sky made the hike a little easier. I found those pine trees have very interesting formation. A little more blue sky probably will make these images more dramatic.
