Bates photos
This is NOT Bates Canyon
This is NOT Bates canyon
This, is Bates canyon
The trail starts rough
It gets rougher
The top is just under the jet
Close up of where the road meets the top
Nothing pretty looking back..
…or forward
In shady spots there was snow. I had worked up a sweat and taken off my undershirt, straped to bike
It wasen’t long before the shirt was back on
1/2 way up, and the only level spot
Looking towards Bakersfield.
Back down the road
Towards the start
MOVIE: Bates 1/2 way up
The red arrow points to the top
I was not alone in the canyon that day
This is a full grown mountain lion
Once you get to the top, all you get is a sign
You get a good view from here, but not a lot to see
There is a lot of nothing out there
The trail is kinda crooked
Coming back was easier than going up….Click “Here” to return to the Index
