The Wildlands Conservancy manages a 2,826-acre preserve on
the Whitewater River that flows from San Gorgonio Mountain into the Coachella
Valley near Palm Springs. A short drive from where the Scheers live, it is a
busy but tranquil place on a winter weekend.
Once a trout farm, there is a pond for fish and duck gazing, and the maze of flat trails on the valley floor are about the right level of difficulty for a man and a dog named Zoe. Meanwhile, some in the party have been known to stay in the car and read the Sunday newspaper. Here are some snapshots from a recent visit.
The boulder as you exit the trail leaves hikers with food for thought from the often quotable Emerson. It reads: "What lies before us and what lies behind us is a tiny matter compared to what lies within us."
Coming up: Old West glossary, no. 56
We were just there yesterday! We spotted 3 bighorn sheep up on one of the lower ridges. It was COLD, however, and the wind was blowing!!!!! Brrrrrr!
ReplyDeleteI didn't think to look for Bighorns. Good to know they're there. A week ago it was pleasantly warm and no wind.

What beautiful images. That quote is pretty cool, but the rock is a little bit cooler if you ask me. :)
ReplyDeleteMighty fine photos and some mighty fine "catchme's" in the pond.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great place - some of the photos look like home here in Wyoming.
