View from my parking spot toward a significant steep section I chose not to drive.

View back as I make my way up some road switchbacks.

Brushy terrain meant for limited views, initially.

Progress on foot along the road to Pastora Peak.

Looking back, some nice hills coming into view.

A view northeast.



View southwest.

Nearing the start of the more open portion of the hike.


View north, looking back.

Emerging from the brushier landscape and into the meadows.

I was surprised at how pretty it was, expecting the hike to be a road walk letdown.

View back after entering the meadows.

Another shot back through the meadows.

Continuing southeast along the road.

Just off the road, a little watercourse. I only saw this because I was detouring to get away from an aggressive horse.


View back again at the full meadow.

Slowly ascending out of the meadow.


View back as I enter the trees again.

The road wraps around a drainage and ascends slowly to a false summit.


False summit, Pastora Peak seen poking out ahead.

Approaching Pastora Peak.

At the base of Pastora Peak, where I left the road and started ascending.

Very light Class 2.

View back toward the road as I make my way up Pastora Peak's final ascent slope.
