It was fun to find some hills to go up near Boston!
Rocky paths wind up the hills.
Hmmm which way now? :)
Some parts involved scrambling up rocks.
          
Very cool view of Boston skyline from the top of one of the hills.

Great views. Interesting juxtaposition of healthy forest, new growth, & last year's burn. Some pretty gnarly climbs up washed-out trail and slippery areas. Don't go in a rainstorm!
At trailhead. Parts of the road were pretty washed out, so we parked and walked up to the trailhead.
Very cool wildflowers and fungus along the way
Sections of burn damage from last year's fire
Great place for the dog to explore, too.
Near the top, could see Diamond Head looking over all.

High elevation hike - started at about 8300' and could feel the effects! Drink lots of water, & start slowly. But an awesome hike.

Heading up Mt Pinos - boots are a must!
          
At the top, we continued off on the Tumamait Trail - this one is much steeper, gnarly. Glad I had my
