Took a "boys" trip to check out the slot canyon of Canyon Sin Nombre and eventually end up in Indian Gorge. Wanted to try and find the Solstice Cave and Hike Sombrero Peak.

Left my memory cards For my digital SLR so had to use my little pocket camera, bummed about the quality of the pics...(I had to cheat and photoshop some)

The entrance to the good stuff


A bit too technical for the rig


Reversed out and Set up camp for the night


pretty cool area!


In the morning decided to head up and around through South Carrizo Creek Road

There is an old homestead in the area. Sombrero peak calling out in the distance



pretty cool metal container





Drive up Canyon sin nombre



Storm was just starting to roll in, this area is pretty protected



Slot Canyon Hike is sweet!








Headed out to Indian Gorge through OLD COUNTY ROAD



and into Indian Gorge



Indian Gorge with the storm rolling in



Scrambled up the steep hillside to get a nice shot of the rain coming down, and.....(this is where I was really bummed about forgetting my memory cards)




Set out the next morning to do some serious exploration




Made our way just before the summit of false sombrero, and decided to head back


Doesn't feel as wild out here anymore with the wind turbines in the distance...



Left Brett back in the Rig watching star wars and still had some hike left in me so scoured the hill side for the solstice cave, but was not lucky



Did find this sweet look out cave


Another great trip....I love living in San Diego!

Nice TR..!!

I have yet to take my big truck down Canyon Sin Nombre from the S2, is that how you went? Not to sandy or steep for a big truck?

Looks like you guys climbed up a good distance towards Sombrero Peak, False Sombrero is actually over in the North Fork and is steep climb and there is a register there.
