Hiking Mount Rubidoux

Dan and I felt like hiking Saturday morning so we went to Mount Rubidoux! It is located smack dab in the middle of Riverside. It is about a mile up to the top, so it isn't like any mountains that you would hike in Utah, it is more of a hill! We were suprised to see how many people exercise there!
There was this cool monument at the top of the mountain. It was built in 1925 and it is all about world peace. Around the top of the tower they carved into the stone are the names of a bunch of countries. It was really fun to look at! There was a giant cross on the top of the hill! It was kind of an interesting hike, on the side of rocks there were scriptures.

Through the smog you get a pretty good look of Riverside! It was really fun to get to the top because you can look on all sides of the mountain and you see the surrounding parts of Riverside.

That's pretty cool! Who knew there was stuff like that in the middle of Riverside! They do that in Spain a lot. At the top of a mountain is some type of monument, especially something religious like the cross!
