Time to Set Up the Tent...How do I do that again?!?
Camping in J-Tree with my significant other on Valentine's Day weekend was the first time I ever camped...and Ryan mountain was one of the first mountains I ever climbed.

Climbed it!
It was a relativly easy climb, But there were bees, lots of bees at the top.

Great Night Hike
We did this as a night hike from the campground at Sheep's Pass. Really neat way to summit this little mountian and viewing the halo lighting of the Coachella Valley.

My kids first summit!
Jordan 6 yrs old and Ashlynn 5 yrs old both summited with daddy on a fine Sunday afternoon. Family picnic and playing on the rocks at Hidden Valley afterwards. Fun family day!

Ryan Mountain
This was my first hike in Joshua Tree. Did this one early in the morning in cool and cloudy weather.

an hour to spare at sunset
My dad and I were in the area and had about an hour to spare so we ran up just in time to take in the sunset at the top. Beautiful views of the desert below.

Hiked with Family
Got all of us to the top, didn't stay long it was windy and cold.
This was my first hike in southern California after moving there in August 1999. I hiked up Ryan Mountain on a very hot day and saw several equally hot women on the trail all hiking solo. As this was my first hike in the region, I couldn't help but wonder if all the regional trails would be populated by gorgeous women. This turned out to be a hasty generalization.

Nice view
Did this short hike as a cool down after a strenuous Wonderland of Rocks Traverse the previous day.

Worth the extra stepsBeing an inveterate peak bagger, I had to continue to the summit after climbing Walk on the Wild Side, much to the disdain of my purist companions.
