The 100 Peaks Blog Turns 6 - A Wildlife Photo Collection
For those interested, here is a list of my gear that I have found works well for me. This is, of course, an affiliate link and your enjoyment of these may vary:
Moose in Big Springs, Idaho
06/20/2015
It was 6 years ago on June 24th that I posted my first hike, to Iron Mountain. Since then, I've been a lot of interesting places and have seen a lot of interesting things. I normally do a photograph collection on these anniversaries, and this one is no different. I've decided to share my photos of the varied wildlife I have seen since I started this blog. The exposure to wildlife is one of the amazing parts of getting outdoors that is often overlooked. And it is often one of the reasons why I hike alone.
You might notice that many of these encounters were in Cuyamaca Rancho State Park. It's one of the best places in San Diego to see wildlife, in my opinion.
Enjoy, and thank you so much for reading.
