"So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life."

3-season playgroundHave climbed a number of these now after a brief time spent living in the IE. Great for a weekend afternoon or weekday jaunt when higher elevations are snowed in. It's my understanding that most of these mountains originally had denser vegetation (manzanita, for example), but over-frequent burns have now left mostly fire-resistant species - especially bunchgrass.

Fun in FontanaI stayed in Fontana for about a week in April 2015 and enjoyed the prevalence of small mountains in the area. I hiked up Mt. Jurupa twice. The second time I bushwhacked down the west slopes to also climb Peak 1802, which has some nice boulders on the summit as well as a surprising amount of vegetation. I also hiked up a 1,602-foot peak not far to the east of Jurupa, called Rattlesnake Mountain on old topo maps. It was unremarkable, but I climbed it for its name. Slightly more interesting were Peak 1452 to the southeast of Rattlesnake Mountain, and Peak 1739 to the south. More recently I hiked up Peak 1913, just east of Mt. Jurupa.
