From Palms to Pines
December 29, 2008
Driving north of Palm Springs
Taking the Palms to Pines scenic road

Gaining elevation fast
It snowed last week
But today is quite warm
Peaks over 10,000 feet
Snowball in a lookout spot
Pine trees start to emerge
Winter meadow
Leaving the snow behind
In the dry desert again
Panorama

Vacation houses up the hill
Road dunes
Interpretive trail
Yuccas
Rock garden
Another peak of the mountains
Winding our way back down to Palm Springs

Back to palms, where we started from
