Well, I take one week off to go traveling and I’m flooded with awesome photos from readers when I get back. That’s not a bad way to come home!
It looks like you’ve been pretty busy lately – we’ve got hiking snapshots from all over California this week, starting with David Reskin‘s beautiful Crescent City sunset.
Next, Recosgrove spent some time in the Sequoia National Forest over the long weekend and snapped this great view of a hiker at the edge of Big Baldy:
And ever since I opened up Photo Friday’s to Instagram, you’ve been great about tagging your best shots with #modernhiker. Since it’s still so dang dry out here, I was really feeling this shot of Rainbow Falls at Devil’s Postpile from Iheartmutts:
And finally, frequent canine-hiker Justkateh posted a pic of her two four-legged buddies taking a break in the shade.
Also, I’d like to give a special shout-out to frequent contributor Jon Bradley, who – according to his Flickr photostream – looks like he successfully accomplished the Adventure 16 Three Peaks Challenge! He submitted this beautiful shot of alpenglow on Ontario Peak … presumably while he was racing up all those peaks.
Congratulations and nice work, Jon! Hope you’re stretching those legs out somewhere comfortable this weekend!
