Ventura foothills

Ventura

I took advantage of a minor break in the heat to explore the hills behind Ventura. Here are a few photos from that wandering.

Looking down on the Ventura Harbor when just starting out.

Some recognizable buildings a little west.

The trails follow the ridges and pipeline, so lots of views over canyons and to the taller mountains to the north.

Looking back across the hills toward the trail I came up along.

There was a benchmark I wanted to go after, placed at a radio station. I hoped it might be outside the area of the station since it was placed with or after that, but of course it was not. No benchmark for me.

The neighborhoods on the way inland along the 33.

The harbor, one of the high schools, the base, the freeway, it is all out there.

Following a guy pushing a stroller up the dirt path.

Another look over the hills.

A rattlesnake gave me a performance.
