Cajon Pass...

 

I find this cliff to be intriguing. The road on the other side of the cliff is Highway 138.

The Canyon in the foreground is known as Crowder Canyon, which used to be called Coyote Canyon.

Cowboys, Mormon pioneers and others passed through this area in the days before paved roads.

I took this photo after launching my drone from a spot along Cleghorn Road in the Cajon Pass.

                             Despite the crowds...

                         There is  enough space...

   ....to find a quiet place.
