If you’re looking out your office windows counting down the seconds until you get to enjoy a proper weekend, it’s time for another Modern Hiker Photo Friday.

We start things off this week with Saina Kamula , who shared this great wildflower shot from Bear Canyon on the way to Switzer Falls. The flowers are popping a bit early this year, but they’re still easy on the eyes!

Happy Valentine's Day!! Here are some flowers for you, my Instafriend! ?? Sweetest part about these flowers is that I didn't pluck them from their stem and destine them to die soon thereafter. ???????????????? Hope your weekend is fabulous! #flowers #valentinesday #switzerfalls #angelesnationalforest #landscape #nature #mountains #modernhiker #hiking #socal #nofilter #iphoneonly #instanature #natureaddict #happyhefferdoes #natureismyfavoritelover

dcamb celebrated his Valentines Day on the ever-popular Cucamonga Peak , and used this candy container as his high-calorie hiking buddy. One of the best parts about a long hike like that is that you get to eat whatever you want and nobody can say anything about it.

I think I can see my Valentine from here…not. All the high-calorie goodies my students gave me came in handy on this hike. Anyway: 11. #52hikechlenge #modernhiker #rei1440project

Oscar Rosales took a hike near Bee Rock in Griffith Park to snap this clear sky, green grass view. I’ve been doing some morning trail runs in the park to prepare for the upcoming Firecracker 10k and the park is really, really beautiful right now. I even saw some California poppies hiding out just below Glendale Peak the other day.

I decided to go exploring this morning at Griffith Park. I went to the base of Bee Rock, something I've been wanting to do for years. Followed a near by stream uphill. On my way back, found a trail that took me uphill again to the fire road. Then I took my regular route to get back down. Fun times ????

And finally, jwd518 took our advice and trekked out to Fish Canyon to see it’s now-flowing waterfall. Along the way, he also noticed how green and beautiful the trail was … I just hope he didn’t pick up any poison oak like I did!
