Speaking of views from the front yard, off in the distance of most current views toward the west (sunset views, and never this close up) you’ll see Castle Peak, which rises up to (I’m guessing) about 1,500 feet or so.
I know that there are trails to the top, and somewhere on the side is a cave with old Native American petroglyphs. I’ve heard of groups that get together with experienced hikers and climb to the top every now and then, but I’ve never done it. Once a year or so we’ll see lights up there after dark, and occasionally we’ll see LA County Fire Department helicopters hovering about, performing a rescue for someone who fell or got hurt climbing around.
One feature I always notice is that tree growing right in the center of that notch between two huge bolders right at the peak.
I would sort of like to climb it before we move out to the Forever Home, but we are probably running out of time and opportunities on that one.
