Mt. Rubidoux

We've started exploring the area more and have found there is a lot to do around here.  This past weekend the weather was perfect so we decided to go on a family hike at Mt. Rubidoux.

Mt. Rubidoux is a park in downtown Riverside.  Although I would not technically classify it as a mountain, it was still quite a trek.  The path up and down the mountain is a round trip of approximately 3 miles.  It is fully paved so it was perfect taking Gwyneth in her jogging stroller.

When we got to the top, we could see all of downtown Riverside.

There is a large cross on the top of Mt. Rubidoux.  In 1909 the first outside non-denominational Easter service was help atop the mountain.  The tradition still continues and the service has been held every year since.

All tuckered out!
