Tarantula Hill

We have been getting alot of rain here recently so the trails are closed to hikers.  Hiking on muddy trails ruins them. 

But there is a paved path that goes up to the top of Tarantula Hill.  It's a short uphill walk but with a great view at the top.

Our pensive one. 

Amy and Quinn bombed this picture. 

Cactus along the way. 

And our way back down. 

After a rousing game of Sequence we hung out with a roaring fire.  Strange time in sunny SoCal with cold, wet days and being hunkered down.
