Hike Number 2 took us to the same area of California, but the scenery was very different than the first hike. Yesterday our hiking adventure took us to the Piedra Blanca Formations in the Los Padres National Park.
In the background you can see where our destination is, just over 1.25 miles away. This hike was an easy hike with little elevation climb and plenty of beautiful views. The beginning of the hike offered up two quick creek crossings for us to maneuver through.
Here is my hiking partner standing in the creek.
The trail led us from the water crossings to a nice dirt trail that would take us to the rock formations. Time to sit and take a break.
Around one of the bends you are greeted with this wonderful piece of Mother Nature.
As you get closer to the formations, more of the rocks come into view.
The Hiking book we are using informed us there are caves in this rock formation for us to explore. We went looking for them, but came up empty handed. I don't really think you can consider this is cave.
Here are a few pictures of the rocks, makes you wonder how and why they are where they are.
Here is Nish hanging out in the rocks. 
Here is a view of the mountains from the rock formation.
When we started the hike there was a sign stating that there was some rock art and to keep an eye out for it. On the way back to the car we found some,
for some reason I don't think this was the rock art the sign was talking about.
This hiking things is actually turning out to be something I look forward to doing and sharing the day with my son. Since my hiking partner is ditching me for a birthday party next week, I will be hiking one of the city hikes solo. If you feel like joining me next week I will be conquering "The Bubbling Spring Recreational Greenbelt" in Port Hueneme.
Happy Hiking
