view from the top, looking west toward San Diego | Hiked this only once with Mari and Karyn in May 1998. Due to my direction-following, and Schaad's ambiguous direction-writing, we climbed Pinos instead, and then went over to Corte Madera in a 10 mile loop hike. |
| Karyn and Mari at start of hike, with Pinos road in background. | 
|
| Here is Karyn on Mt. Pinos. We climbed this first, and had a bird's eye view of the area. We saw Corte Madera off in the distance, and headed to it, along a ridge-line.... |
| Karyn and I, after reaching the pass between Pinos and Corte Madera, and starting the short stretch of dirt road, before continuing on the ridge trail. Corte Madera is on right. |
| I and Mari, with Corte Madera right behind us, at the same place on the road. | 
|
| Just after starting the trail, Karyn tries unsuccessfully to get me to strike a pose. |
| We took a break on a large boulder overlooking this lake. A very scenic spot. |

| Here is Karyn signing the register on Corte Madera. |
| Some of the rocks on the peak looked like they had inscriptions from ancient civilisations. |
