Sierra Grandstand Ride |
||
There is a large sign showing the various points of interest along the route. The sign is located just as you turn right onto 4N29. |
Facing the signboard, there is a dirt road going off to the right. Drive along this road a very short distance to see this landscape. |
This is the type of marker to look for. Not all are easily visible. |
Looking down at Pinecrest Lake |
Gooseberry Plant |
|
Blue Elderberry bush that is about 9 feet high. The berries are on the tart side |
Flowering thistle |
This cluster of elderberries were quite impressive. |

The Elderberry bushes were everywhere. In spring, the bushes have clusters of white flowers. |

Sign number 4 |
An old gnarled tree |
A tunnel was created many years back. |
Don't you wonder how old it is? |
Taken from the other side |
The steepest part of the ride. You definitely need a 4-wheel drive vehicle here. |
Taking in the view from post number 5. |
Another terrific view from 5. |
