More Bartolome Island

The first photo is a (not very good) shot of the summit of the island. It was a hike of about 650 yards to get to the top. The summit was about 375 feet high. Most of the hike was on a wooden boardwalk which protects the island and makes it easier for people to hike it. 

I took the other three photos from the summit area. After our hike up this hill, we went snorkeling. Looking at the second photo, we snorkeled from the beach out and around Pinnacle Rock and beyond, and then back to the beach. We snorkeled with sea lions, turtles, penguins, fish, and rays. It was very nice snorkeling, except for the one sea lion that snuck up on me and oogled me, face to face. The penguins swam so fast under water that it was ridiculous. The turtles were fun to swim with – very graceful.
