This morning I hiked up in the Box Springs Mountain Park. I tried to get an early start as it was going to make it to 90 degrees in Riverside today. It was cool on the way up, but as the sun beat down on me it became warm.
As for the wildlife, I did see some deer track on the upper road. It is west of where I saw a deer a couple of months ago. At least there are deer in the park as the mountain lions prefer them over the two legged creatures that frequent the park.
As for the view in the westerly direction, there was not a lot of coastal fog making its way our direction so visibility was better. Mt. San Antonio is the tallest peak west of Riverside. As it is warm today, it definitely would be cooler up there.
