Now Go Take a Hike!

We found what looked like a nice State Park, also up in Chino Hills.  All of the restaurants we ate at were also up here.  Looks like we may have stayed in the wrong neighborhood, but it wasn't that far of a drive.

A tipster on Yelp explained how it would be better to drive into the park and go past a horse barn for parking, rather than trying to hike in from outside the entrance.  That would have been impossible given the heat and long distance.  So this worked out pretty well.

As it was, it was hot enough that we were always looking for the next shady spot.  Not sure how these Californians manage in the heat of the summer.  It's only April!

We were hoping to see some different wild flowers, but it turns out those were on different trails.  I needed to do a bit more homework.  But this was a good outing and workout.
