Slight Detour

Becca and I did an extra-long hike this morning.  We left our car in the Sunset Area parking lot and headed up the trail leading to higher elevations.  Instead of going to the top, though, we skirted the flank of the mountain before dropping down again into the lower desert.  The semi-lofty heights are represented by the first three images here.  We did a little bushwhacking to avoid encounters with other hikers, but on the way back in we bumped into a man hiking alone and a man and woman who annoyingly were stalled on a narrow portion of trail and didn't move in the least to give us room to maneuver around them.  They were friendly, and I said "Good morning" to them, but I felt a bit aggravated by their thoughtlessness
