Some Things I’ll Miss About California, Part 2
By Mark D. Roberts | Tuesday, October 2, 2007
Yesterday I wrote that I will miss the Pacific Ocean. That’s surely true. But my favorite part of California isn’t the coastline, but rather the High Sierra. I have loved hiking in these magnificent mountains, either by myself, or with my family. The photo below shows my daughter and me in front of Blue Lake near Bishop, California.
I took the following picture at sunrise, just outside of Bishop. The tallest peak is Mount Humphreys, which is 13,986 feet high.
One of the most well-known and beloved parts of the Sierra is Yosemite Valley. The photo below is of Half Dome, the glacier-carved granite dome at the eastern end of the valley.
Like I said, there are some things I’ll miss about California.

Thanks for your willingness to make a comment. Note: I do not moderate comments before they are posted, though they are automatically screened for profanities, spam, etc., and sometimes the screening program holds comments for moderation even though they're not offensive. I encourage open dialogue and serious disagreement, and am always willing to learn from my mistakes. I will not delete comments unless they are extraordinarily rude or irrelevant to the topic at hand. You do need to login in order to make a comment, because this cuts down on spam. You are free to use a nickname if you wish. Finally, I will eventually read all comments, but I don't have the time to respond to them on a consistent basis because I've got a few other demands on my time, like my "day job," my family, sleep, etc.

Hey bub, northern Idaho looks EXACTLY like these pictures. Even the Sawtooths are tremendous here in Idaho. Think about it….

Damon: Yes, indeed. I love Idaho. Spent time there two and three summers ago. Peace.

I grew up in Burbank and spent much of my youth in the Angeles National Forest. I moved with my young family to NJ in 1996 and then to FL in 1999. I still miss my mountains. I hope you’ll be able to get to yours often in spite of your move. I cannot tell you how painful it is to this day to only get a hike in once every 5 years.
