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.
