Verdugo Mountains Hike

We did our first hike in a very long time, in the Verdugo Mountains in Glendale. Yay, Mountain Lions!

We had not hiked for very long before we had to make our first decision…

We picked the northbound and came across this tree that had fallen over in the wind, we stopped for a moment and were debating if we should bring it with us home and use as a Christmas Tree, but we decided not to.

As we stood there making up our minds a few other hikers passed us by and we decided it was for the better to ask for directions right away so we wont get lost like on pretty much all the other hikes we are doing.

Turned out, it was pretty much straight up and it looped around. We said we’ll see if we’ll loop around or just hike straight up for an hour or so and then just turn around home.

We reached this, erhm, thing, after about 90 minutes and thought that was enough and turned around home.
Going back down is a lot easier and quicker!
We stopped by the ‘Christmas Tree’ again to pick up some decorations for the home.

Brilliant solution if there’s a bunch of people who need to have access to a locked gate, just bring your own lock!
