Big homes -- oh, and those mountains!
Arriving to Beehive is quite the sight – and I’m not talking about the mountains. The trailhead here is a small parking lot and a sign which tells hikers to stay closely on the trail for the next mile – the millionaires don’t want you tramping through their backyards. Yeah – big homes, widely spaced, thick beamed, luxurious. Past the homes, though, the real nature of the place takes over. The canyon bottom is wide and mellow, but heading up the ramparts of upper Beehive gradually grow to fill the skyline. Nice place.
