On Sunday we went for a long hike into Blackstar Canyon. We started at the trail head and after a short walk through the shady canyon we started climbing up some switchbacks. After a few miles we hit a level plateau before climbing for a few more miles.
Here are some pictures from the hike. Note the bullet holes in the sign!
Here are the boys in front of a big rock.
At about 7.5 miles into the hike, we neared the giant Doppler Radar also known as the “Death Star”.
A little bit further up the trail there were some more strange rock formations that looked like they had been pulled up from the bottom of the ocean to about the 4500ft level we were at.
From here it was a long way back but at least it was all down hill! Fifteen miles in total. I think we are ready for Half Dome.
