...I could not help but think of my journey to heaven. This last crazy section of the hike up to the summit, gaining 3800' in 6.8 miles, cliffs and precipices on my side, and I arrive at the large peak, so close to God's Majesty. What could this mean in a spiritual aspect? Well, those 3800' gained could represent the love one gains of God so high. The cliffs and gorges? The easy 'drop-offs' of the evil one. Stay on the narrow path towards the mountain (heaven). Those last killer steps to the peak? How Satan wants us to give up right before we reach God's majesty. The actual peak, shining in the glorious bright sky, with clouds aloft? Well, I think you can guess what that could be...
Cool. Congrats
ReplyDeleteWoul'd thing though for all this there would be a picture
When you are finnal on the top of Mt. San Antonio be sure to take a picture of the summit marker. Look around and observe to incredible view from the top. Straight to the west is the steep gorge of the San Gabriel River, the Angeles high county, and Mt. Baden Powell in the foreground. To the north the vast Mojave. Those distant mountains pas the desert? The far-away Tehachipis and if you are blessed to hike on a clear day, the pinicales of Mt. Whitney To the east is more of the Mojave followed by distant mountains (Joshua Tree), and the San Bernardino Mountains, including the shiny gravel peak of Mt. San Gorgonio. Then to the right of that the San Gorgonio Pass and The San Jacinto Mountains, and the LA Basin and Inland Empire. Further still, and be seen Santiago and Modjeska Peaks and Orange County. The small hills that gleam brown in front are the Chino Hills. You may be able to see the Ocean and Santa Catalina Island, as well as the Palos Verde Peninsula. Still to the right, Downtown Los Angeles, yes we saw the skyscrapers, the distant Santa Monica Mts, back over to Mt. Wilson, covered with attenae and two gleaming white observatories. Enjoy your view
