I may know Mount Gleason like the back of my hand but this was the first time I approached it via the PCT for a whopping 22.5 miles, a personal best. And I finally got a start before sunrise. Spectacular views of Antelope Valley and cold, strong winds were the highlights of the day. #mountgleason #mountgleasontrail #pct #pacificcresttrail #angelesnationalforest #anf #sangabrielmountains #sunrise #sunrisephotography #hike #hiking #hikinglife #hikingadventures #hikingwithdogs #thegreatoutdoors #optoutside #nature #naturelover #naturephotography #landscape #landscapephotography #goodday #goodhike #findyourhike #findyourpark (at Mount Gleason) https://www.instagram.com/p/CV9YHW3FToS/?utm_medium=tumblr

Another round of major nostalgia as Mount Gleason Road gets checked off the list today. Hiked to the Station Fire Memorial. Almost ten years since the fire wreaked its havoc. Once again blown away by the forest's green transformation in the five years since I've been gone. Views of the poppy blooms in Palmdale were always in the distance. Charlie nearly reverted back to a wild animal 😉 #mountgleason #mountgleasonroad #forestserviceroad3N17 #angelesnationalforest #anf #sangabrielmountains #palmdale #stationfirememorial #springblooms #poppies #charlieloveshikes #outdoorspup #wildanimal #nostalgia #nostalgiahike #hiking #hikinglife #hikingadventures #coastalsagescrub #thegreatoutdoors #optoutside #nature #naturelover #naturephotography #landscape #landscapephotography #goodday #goodhike #findyourhike #findyourpark (at Palmdale, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_bLpEMBxu8/?igshid=12tekk2j2come
