Hiking the Tennessee Valley Trail

Saturday, March 11, 2017

Hi everybody!

So a few weeks ago I joined a meetup called PhotoHike. You can check them out at www.photohike.org or on Instagram at @photo_hike. This was my first hike since coming out to California. I got to meet some great people, see some great sights and take some cool pictures! If you're a pro or an amateur, I highly encourage everyone to come out to the next one!

This was as we were starting out on the trail.

After a good 30 minute hike, we made it to the beach!

A model joined us. This is one of the few images I took. I'll have another blog up with his session.

Then we climbed the 800 steps trail for a better vantage point. Warning: This is not for the faint of heart. I thought I would get blown right off the cliff with the high winds that were coming up from the ocean.

Final shot from way up high. I'll definitely be visiting again, but may be once it gets warmer.
