Nelson County Rocks

   

Holly hadn’t climbed Humpback Rocks for many years, so we hiked up there early in June, partly in preparation for Spy Rock.  On the way Holly spotted the red eft above, and subsequently we saw a mid-sized bear near the Humpback Rocks picnic area.

That weekend we joined four friends from the Grace Church retreat at Montebello in climbing up Spy Rock, which offers a 360 degree view of almost total wilderness.  A challenge, but all made it to the top.  We were fortunate that the rhododendron were in full bloom at the higher elevations, including on the rocky dome itself.
