Mormon Rocks

Our trip up the Cajon Pass was to photograph the rock formations officially know as Rock Candy Mountains, locally they are known as Mormon Rocks. The name was given to them from the Mormon settlers who passed through Cajon Pass in 1851 to settle in Southern California. 

This photograph was taken just after the sun rose over the surrounding mountains. I also got a little bit lucky to have a train come through at that moment in time to pose for me below the rock formation.
