Almost scary how beautiful this is. But there’s another way this view can be scary for locals on days like this. Here’s a pic of those mountains from May 5, 2009 not long after some volunteer with a weed whacker was clearing brush from one of the myriad great local hiking trails.
5895 Jesusita Fire
In only a few hours, thousands of acres had burned and many homes destroyed.
