Chino Hills State Park

This spring southern California had an epic bloom. They were even showing it on the national news which just caused the crowds to be worse. So instead of going to where the huge blooms were I went to Chino Hills State Park. The bloom may not have been as large as a lot of the better known places but it wasn't crowded either. They had a few nice hiking trails so I got to hike a bit to see the blooms.

The mountains also had snow on them making for a very pretty back drop.  There was a slight bit of fog / marine layer taking away from the sky a bit and the sharpness of the pics but... you takes what you gets. It was a nice day for hiking.
