Garrapata Rocky Trail
Leslie Caramia Val
A warmup hike for Half Dome. We started out in a wooded area that reminded me of Washington. There were even creek crossings. We eventually broke out of the woods and headed steeply up a brushy trail on a hill that reminded me of Mt Baldy in the Yakima Canyon. The ocean views were majestic. It wasn’t a piece of cake because it was so hot. We saw a Rattlesnake on the descent, but it was quite small.
