This view shows the beginning of the walk up to the rim of Mt. Bromo, an active volcano in Eastern Java (Indonesia). After the walk, or horse ride, there are 249 steps to the rim of the crater. When we visited, a strong, sulfurous steam was constantly rising.
The local people still make annual offerings of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and livestock here by throwing them into Bromo's crater.
A Hindu temple can be seen at the base of the mountain in the upper right of the photograph.
Mt. Bromo began to erupt again in November 2010.

I took this photo in June 1954 as Mary and I were driving to the summit of Mount Evans in Colorado. At a height of 14,264 feet, Mount Evans is among the highest mountain peaks in the United States, and has the highest paved road in the country. The road, which has been scraped out of the mountain face, is narrow, lacks guard rails in most places, and has sheer drops offs. A lower level of the road can be seen in the center of the photo.

Accessing Southern California by railroad is not easy. All trains entering and exiting the basin are forced to ascend or descend mountain passes (Santa Susana Pass, Soledad Canyon, Cajon Pass and Beaumont Hill). When you look at Beaumont Hill on Google Earth, it appears to be an easy ascent, as its bracketed by two mountain ranges. Its not easy. Trains ascending San Timoteo Canyon face a 1.8% grade. Its obvious when you visit the canyon. Eastbound trains struggle up the grade to Beaumont at 15 to 25 MPH (UP trains are notoriously under powered, which doesn't help). This struggle adds to the appeal of the San Timoteo Canyon. Drama, beauty, tranquility, what more can you ask for!
