Nob Peak

On December 4, we returned to Whitewater Preserve to explore along the ridge dividing Nob Creek Canyon from Whitewater Canyon. Our destination was the ridge's high point, called Nob Peak. At 4455', we were well below the snow line, but we could see it on many of the higher surrounding peaks. Although the hike was only 8 miles, it was very challenging due to steep terrain and brushy areas. But the views were spectacular, making it well worth the effort. Check out the photos, and if we go there next spring, consider joining us to enjoy the wildflowers along with the views!
