Wildlife
Encounters Along Southern California's Greatest Mountain Biking Trails |
||||
| One of the
great things about touring California's wilderness areas on a mountain bike
is the frequency with which one encounters wildlife. Quiet bikers
who keep at least some of their sensory organs tuned to the surroundings
outside the immediate trail in front of them can see some amazing creatures.
Deer, coyotes, snakes, lizards, hawks, wildcats, and many other critters
abound in areas which are close to huge human populations. I've collected a few of the many photos I've taken of creatures spotted from some of the trails covered in this website (along with a few photos from trails not detailed in this site, but which were just too cool to omit). Enjoy! (Links to more information on California wildlife are included below). |
