The Cliffs of Canyon Park
The photos on this page show three of the major cliffs in Canyon Park. These photos were taken in early spring so the foliage is sparse but you can really see the outline of the rock.
The shot to the left is of the bluff that rises up from the dam in the canyon. You can get to the top if you go to the north of the rock, that’s just around the corner from what you see here.
This shot is of the rock that we call 4 Oaks, to access the top (with it’s great vista of the park) you hike around the ”loop” trail.
This shows the rock to the east of the pond, it’s what we call “the point”, and is located just off the side yard of the cabin. It’s aobut 50 yards from the cabin. So you can walk over to the cliff and listen to the water fall over the dam from Diana’s Mirror.

Pine Point
Just off the side yard of the cabin, Pine Point gives a great view of the property. It overlooks the pond and all you can see is in the park.

Not fog, pollen
Yesterday I posted a couple of photos with fog in the front yard. These shots show the giant white pines in the front yard releasing pollen. Any day now we’ll see that again, it’s usually a bright June day when you get to see this. Then there is pollen everywhere!

BY-PASS
This old sign was here when we got here. 14 years ago. At that time I thought that it would tip over any minute.
It indicates that there is a spot to pullover on the one-lane road that goes down through the canyon and back. You can still see where the “by-pass” was if you look closely when you’re at that spot. There are couple of other areas that you can see that must have been by-passes. There is one on the way down the big hill going into the canyon, you’ll be sure to spot that one if you need it!
I took these photos a week or two ago and I hope it’s still there in the summer when all is green and I can get a different background. I really hope it’s there for a few more years so I can get more photos.

Most snow ever
This year the weather people are saying the we have had the most snow ever. Lots of our time has been taken up by just clearing the snow. But this weekend we had time to enjoy some of the fun of winter….
