I love the fact that there are hills rising up behind our city. In LA county, there are so many cities upon cities that nature is hard to come by. However, we have these hills within walking distance from our house. Ironically, the reason we have them is because they used to belong to an oil company which owned most of these hills. They drilled for oil here in the 20s and 30s, but that meant the land was not developed for houses. Then the city was able to buy the land when the oil was no longer being drilled here. As a result, we have these wonderful trails to hike and bike. This year they are especially beautiful thanks to all of the rain.

Kelly and I found some great hills to walk behind Whittier College. These look even closer. I can't believe how green it is there now.
