Pinnacle Mountain

A couple of Sunday's ago, Brad and I decided that the weather was too perfect to stay inside so we went to Pinnacle.  We always do the Summit trail but it was closed so we walked the Base trail.


My camera lens broke and had to be sent off to be repaired (6 weeks!!).  Bedford was able to loan me a lens, but the only two they had to choose from was an 18-55 or a 70-300.  I choose the 70-300 because we had a trip to a football game planned and the 18-55 wouldn't have been good for that.  So all of these photos are with the 70-300 which is a terrible choice for an outing like this!  Oh well....

We've never walked the entire Base trail (3.5 miles) because we always go to the top so we were kind of glad the Summit was closed.  We didn't get in a hurry and although the park was busy, we didn't run into too many people on the trail.
I like how the trail is smooth dirt for a while and then rocky for a little while.  

This clearly was not taken from the Base trail.  This was at another part of Pinnacle that we had never been to.  We just climbed stairs to a deck that overlooked the water.

I didn't seem fair that this guy was having to work on such a pretty day.  At least he wasn't stuck in an office.  It reminded me of watching Brad's dad earlier this summer...
This was taken in June.  The weather wasn't quite so nice that day.
