Pictures from 236 to Big Basin Headquarters


We picked up Jeanne-Ann at 236 and she was ready to go. Here she is speed hiking with Jennifer.


The soft dirt trails turns rocky. Spraky climbs a rock face with ease.


Jeanne-Ann stops to take a rest and take in the views after carefully hiking the rocky trail.


Taken after Jeanne-Ann's infamous fall. Notice how steep the trail is behind her. Off to the right is a 50 foot drop.


Sparky leads as Jeanne-Ann and Jennifer follow. We are getting close to Big Basin Headquarters.

 

 

The trail offered many spectacular views.


This butterfly stands out on the chalky dirt trail.

 


Beautiful views along the way.

 

 

 

This is where Jeanne-Ann fell. Unfortunately it does not show how steep the drop is.



We are less that a minute away from Big Basin Headquarters where we meet the last members of or group and take an hour rest.
