View from the giant boulders on the White Rabbit Trail on Thanksgiving Day 2011

We met up with some friends on Thanksgiving morning for a short hike (under a couple miles round trip I think) in the Siskiyou Mountains. The drive to the parking lot on Ashland Loop Road was spectacular. The valley was filled with fog, but as we neared the top of the road the sun began to eerily peer through the fog-surrounded trees. The scene looked like something out of a vampire movie. Unfortunately, I was driving, and there would have been a revolt had I pulled over to take pictures of the magical view.

We headed out on White Rabbit Trail (crowded on this day for once) until we came to the large boulders. The view below of the foggy valley was amazing. I was wishing that I had my ultra wide angle lens with me at the time. Alas, today’s photo is the best I could do at 18mm (on a DX).
