The gateway arch was inspired by Eagle Rock in on the Pacific Crest Trail. I was going to draw the entire mountain like this but didn’t think it would look believable. Which is quite funny when you see how very much like an eagle Eagle Rock looks like (https://hikingsdcounty.com/eagle-rock/)

Buzzard chicks are so ugly cute

Blimey, this page was relaxing to draw after all the crowd and city scenes. More blue sky backgrounds please!

The rock climb is based on Angel’s Landing, in Zion

I’m happy with this page!

Absolutely nothing wrong with climbing a mountain stoned, not at all…
