I had no idea that the Pacific Crest Trail cut through this area. We had gone over to Hesparia area with the idea of visiting the mountains where we use to live for awhile before we moved here. We never did make it because we found a trail to explore. Because it wasn't a hot day we were able to go check it out and at some point we came to where this river runs through (not sure why the water looked so brown, probably very shallow because farther away in the sunlight it was blue.
In a different area we went up to the top of the dam at Silverlake area and it was closed off to the public. We had been able to get through to it before but probably because any area in nature which is open to the public - is a target for graffiti. Eventually probably all parks will be closed in the future as more and more people deface everything they see around them. Really VERY irritating. Coming down from the dam area i was able to get pics of the wildflowers and irrigation channels. This area is a huge many acre ranch and often have cattle and horses out grazing.
on the way back we stopped again in this area above and I found a way to get close up to some poppies.
