Absolutely great shots Mark (Turtle), great TR as well. Those cinnamon rolls sure make the misery subside quickly. Great to come up Falling Rock Canyon to find a friend atop Ontario Peak on a crisp fall October Morning. Hope to see you again soon, hope you enjoyed all the taped "ballgames"...

Amazing shots bschmalz, love the colors and love the dog friendliness of it all, seeing that I have four labs

Super great shots Mcphersonm80 what a great area, thanks for sharing that TR

One heck of a trip all over the place. Nice. I've always wondered about going straight up or down the bowl when it's not winter. Sounds like you had no issues coming down. There's a faint scree trail that goes up or down the bowl slightly right of the ski hut almost dead even with the summit itself...

Wanted to do something different so we left Manker at 5:10 AM headed for the Ski Hut, from there we turned up to the right in the spring/water drainage to gain the saddle between Harwood & Baldy, back to car by 12:23 PM. From there we traversed across the north east face of Baldy above the south...

You crack head you Humpty Dumpty


Nice (Sender poser )

Because it's her favorite area to hike, because it was her 60th birthday and because she's always getting people to hike a group of people got together and unofficially dedicated a "sub-summit" in honor of Ellen in the San Jacinto's. Happy Birthday Ellen and you deserve a peak named after ...

Great shots Richard, love that area, you captured it all very well

It was whispy on top with soft 5mph breeze which afforded a few views here & there but mostly a cloud of fog/precipitation.

Up the Ski Hut trail to the summit early yesterday. The rain that came in the night made the plants come to life, one big horn ran across the trail in front of me (around 5:15 AM)(I was about a mile above the road just before the upper falls area), all the new trail signs have been cut off with a sa...

Great pictures and Trip Report. I'm sure we passed you on that Sat in the Trail Camp to Mirror Lake area. Hope to see you out there again soon.

Awesome trip you guys did. I did the same route with my 9 yr old son, but we did in 8 days though from 8/10/13-8/17/13 in the same week; you guys must had overtaken us! Your 3rd day milleage and elevation gain and loss is a "WOW" with 50lb backpack on! Money says that we spoke or walked b...

Are there stickers on the trunk of that car? Are they legal? :wink: I don't remember seeing that many pieces of rock when Ty and I did Waterman last year, which part of the mountain, by the lifts? down the hill? over on one of dem dare other peakletts? I have the new headlamp like Ty's, it's not as ...

Really sorry to hear about the ankle Joe, hope that heals quick. Is all that snow fresh stuff from the past weeks storms? Heading to the Palisades on Friday want to know what I'm up against? Great pictures, always wondered how hot it would be to do the long open approach to the summit of Mount Morga...

While I'm not one to get too excited about things, I think it's important to at least let folks know this could be a problem so protect yourselves and the kids. This was reported on the San Gorgonio Board by ForestHiker FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Josh Dugas, REHS August 20, 2013 Program Manager ...

Onion Valley to Whitney Portal (A 70 hour Odyssey) (Edit - pictures should have been restored, I only had to slap him twice ;) ) James Ledbetter had wanted to do a backpacking trip for some time that involved going from Onion Valley to Whitney Portal, so he convinced me to join him and after getting...

The truth is Ty liked the beatings and you weren't supposed to tell on me.

Great shots Richard, always enjoy clean vivid photos.

With the two deer and all these guys below the Ski Hut in the creek on Sunday the hunt might have been on. https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/lh3.googleusercontent.com/-OpMBU0kyz6U/UgCNVWovrII/AAAAAAAABAM/HbaUOLkE3vc/w440-h330-p/P1030327.JPG These guys were about 100 yards below the hut at 8 AM ...

Was on Baldy main trail this morning, kept me eyes open for anyone wearing a wide brimmed hat but did not see you. If you did the Three - T's and then backbone to the summit of Baldy you may have seen me, I was going straight down the face of the bowl on the north between 9:58 and 10:26 when I reac...

Hello all. I just joined this message forum to read about and plan new and exciting hikes that I haven't done yet in the area. A little about me. I am 29 years young, about to turn 30...but age is just a number. As far as my username...well its just a play on words...you know, "Use it or lose ...

nickrp,

The one above the hut I've never seen completely dry in all the years I've been going up there, the one below the hut I would never trust, it's downhill from the "pit toilet" that is behind the hut, you should be fine.

Enjoy

For those who missed it the (only the Idyllwild State Park) is now back open after the devastating fire and anyone wanting to help out inside the park can, see below. (The upper State Park remains closed until the ranger in charge says other wise). I heard back from the trail clean up organizer and ...

We found a person willing to deliver, thanks for all that were willing to help.

Problem solved

Someone is in Lone Pine and forgot an important bag of equipment needed to do some climbing this weekend. If anyone is willing to grab it on their way north the person in question would surely buy someone lunch or dinner. The bag is in South Orange County but arrangements can be made to have it drop...

Moving to Alaska. Gotta lighten the load. All prices are negotiable. PM if you'd like more info or pics of a certain item. I probably have other random stuff so if you're looking for anything mountaineering/hiking/camping related just ask :) Used Small Lime Green CAMP climbing helmet Used Half Dome...

Amazing, we were treated to a snow chute of 1,800 feet on the north west side just before reaching Bishop Pass. We were there early morning on a fairly cold morning so the snow was consolidated and it had rained the week before so there was some not quite icy conditions higher up, crampons and Ice a...

Exactly 5 weeks ago I was throwing rocks from the trail above the lake and they would not penetrate the surface of Long Lake it was still frozen solid, great area, my first time going up Agassiz and had a blast.

Great job Sean, there's less brush than I expected so the fire did get that far up the ridge. I'll wait for the weather to cool this fall before I head up Rattlesnake but when it does I'm in for a longer shot. It might be worth doing a run up Hawkins from Crystal Lake and stashing some water in vari...
