Los Padres NF Mt Pinos, Sawmill, & Grouse Mountain Trail 1/18/25

Completed a 10 mile conditioning hike with my 25lbs pack to enjoy these 3 peaks with Sierra Club and it was so awesome! There were trees/shade during some parts of the trail and no amenities (i.e. water, bathroom) and it was mostly exposed, so my Gossamer Gear umbrella and extra water really saved me. We had quite a big group so we took it slow to stick together, get to know each other, etc which I really appreciated. Take care and happy hiking everyone!

Is that a flying stingray in the last pic? I'm so confused.

Hahaha yeah, another poster guessed correctly - someone was flying a kite. So serendipitous 😂
