My California - Little Mountain
For this weeks Show Us Your California contest by @socalsteemit I decided to take a hike up to the top of...
Little Mountain!!
Little Mountain is exactly what it's name implies... a little mountain. It separates the north end of San Bernardino from the rest of the city and provides great views overlooking the area. Since we've been getting a good amount of rain here lately Little Mountain has been looking really green, so I thought it would be nice to go take a short hike up to the top. I started at Blair Park which is at the base of the mountain on its south side. The park has three baseball fields, handball, basketball, and tennis courts, horseshoe pits, play areas for kids, picnic areas, a skate park, and hiking trails.

From the park I headed up the trail to the top of Little Mountain and then hiked around the top for a little while enjoying all the green grass and clear views over the city.
