This is my view driving home from Costco. I shot the picture because it surprised me how really pretty california can be at times.
I was also happy to see people discuss the fact of being breathless at altitude. I was up at Bryce Canyon and at about 10,000 feet I had breathing difficulty myself. I was ashamed at the time because I was with much younger people that seemed to be able to just dance in the thin air whereas I was having considerable trouble.
As I think about it, anything above 9000 feet is problematic for me and I am somewhat happy to see that other people have concerns in this regard also.
Spectacular view with the snow on the peaks in the high country. I’m guessing that’s mount Baldy @ 10K elevation. Highest I ever went skiing down was 12K at the top Copper Mt In Colorado. It was heavy breathing up there. Paul
