Icehouse is usually packed with hikers. Not so much today. I enjoyed seeing some real snow after months of nothing this season. Snow was falling on and off during the hike.
My photo spheres (360 degree panoramas) from today's hike:

If you are on a phone/tablet where those links don't work well, I've also posted the spheres here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/1110 ... 3350482433
Quite a peaceful day.

Nice shots! I was up there too yesterday. Maybe we bumped into each other. I saw a guy with a nice camera in the afternoon. I also saw a couple campers. I was with one other person.

Very nice photospheres. Cool Android tech.
Sean, please tell me you didn't go up there in sandals?

Thanks. Glad to share.
Sean, for these spheres, I was just shooting on my phone, so the person you saw with a nice camera was definitely not me. I did, however, see the campers. They were camped just a bit above the start of the Cucamonga Wilderness. I spoke briefly with one of the guys - he mentioned that they had camped there Friday night and were set to camp there for Saturday night. Impressive.
Devil's Backbone was also rather nice today (Sunday), despite being a bit cloudy:
Early on, hiking up a steep section of the ski trail: https://www.google.com/maps/views/view/ ... AAGupreh9A
Nearing the top of the ski run, before the narrow section: https://www.google.com/maps/views/view/ ... AAGupreh8Q
An incredible icy rock along the narrow ridge: https://www.google.com/maps/views/view/ ... AAGupreh9g
Just before the scary, steep crossover section: https://www.google.com/maps/views/view/ ... AAGupreh8w
Heading back down, a few hundred feet below the previous sphere, as the views briefly opened up a bit: https://www.google.com/maps/views/view/ ... AAGupreh9Q
Almost all the way back down to the Notch: https://www.google.com/maps/views/view/ ... AAGupreh8g

No sandals this time, tekewin. I trudged through knee-deep snow and was glad to have my trail runners.
