Great to see the pictures of the leaf's turning, like the shot of the little guy with the big leaf in his hand that is almost as big as he is

Love to see people getting their children out gives me hope for the future

Great shots Ryan and Torrey, looks like a great fall day in Yosemite other than the wind. Thanks for sharing that.

If you are assessing for the reason I think you are send me a message through the backside, let's plan something for Dec?

Saturday morning I drove up San Gabriel Canyon, across the East Fork Road and parked at Heaton Flat. I was on the hoof by 0630. It took around 5:30 to summit. I'll add some more verbiage to this report later. https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/www.electricskates.com/Pix/Other24/IMG_0887.png Mor...

Very nice bsmith, very nice

I just watched some guys video on youtube the other day, and the dogs were following him too. The only problem I have with dogs like that or people with their dogs not on a leash on the trail, they all say they dont bite, but tell that to my daughter when we are in an emergency room for 6 hours wit...

mcphersonm80: you have me thinking about another fun one. Can anyone shed some light on a route that would include 1) Buckhorn/AKawie 2) Winston Peak 3) Winston Ridge 4) Pallett Mountain 5) Pleasant Ridge High Point 6) Will Thrall Summit Looking to tips as to any short cuts other trails that are no...

One of my favorite hikes. Pictures have to be linked from a "hosting site" such as Picassa or Photobucket, once you upload them there, then each of those sites has buttons that say "do you want to link this or these pictures" to another site. If you click the button in the box ab...

Hikin_Jim posted a list of peaks over 8,000 feet a while back (so I blame him) in a trip report so as I glanced down the list I realized that I had done 20 of the 23 peaks/peaklets in the list (without meaning to it just happened). So after seeing that list I put it in the back of my mind that maybe...

Great stuff David, just what the board needs, new adventures off the beaten path keep the reports coming.

Did any of the canyon drops require walk arounds something that would be fun to rapell?

Lilbitmo/Patrick

Great job Steve, thanks for the photos and video's.

Never been but have hiking buddy who's spent a summer there and tells me I need to go

Anybody have a good blown up map of the damage area yet?

Did Rattlesnake Peak get hit?

Up dates will be greatly appreciated

Bill,

I was up there the first week of June and there's no snow to speak of, you should be fine using either pass. Last winter was real light, the only snow I've seen in any of the areas was "Glacier Snow & Ice" by the Palisades. Have fun, enjoy your fishing climbing

There are of course many peaks, such as Etiwanda, which have no official name in the eyes of the USGS but whose names are recognizable by locals. HJ Near Mt. Whitney, these come to mind: Mount Carl Heller - the China Lake Mountain Rescue Group petitioned to have an unnamed peak near Mt. Whitney nam...

Talk about some "Bull Frogs"

Just saw a "Rest In Peace" comment on Facebook from one of the folks in the PCT group who posted that "Asabat" had passed, just wanted to pass on my condolences to his family, he was one of the people that always reported conditions on water sources for the "thru hikers"...

I have work to do HJ, I've not made it to three of those, Waterman, Williamson and Lewis - oh no, what's a hiker to do - plan a trip to do all three in a day maybe

Something in the fall when temp's cool out, anyone sick enough to join me

Nice, you are one of very few that I know that have ever done that complete route.

Great shots

The name sakes have been barking at me lately, what happened to the other Jake/Elwood, they were missing the TR's. They are glad you got out again.

On the flip side, I hate both of you, especially Ty even though I never met him.

You never met me either, so keep the "hate equal" please

Doing a midnight run tomorrow night on San G, welcome to join the partah my friend?

Rob, thanks for the TR, great pictures, I miss my hiking Girl Lucy everytime I see a dog out hiking or anyone posting pictures of their's with them, she was a "Austrailain Sheppard, Chow, Lab Mix" with nothing but spunk and the love of the outdoors - might be time for one of my labs to joi...

Nice TR fellas, great pictures, keep em coming

Knowing that the storm would break sometime late in the afternoon on Saturday Ty and I decided to run up Manker Trail, then the bowl and then to the summit. We arrived at the trailhead to find total White Out conditions - a guy and his girlfriend came down just as we were starting up at 2:10 PM, the...

Thanks for the great pictures and TR Elwood, keep em coming

If they do Matt, I don't want to be anyhwhere near them during feeding time

Thanks for the bomber bolts and such

The temps have been warm again so the snow is melting fast. We did Manker Canyon from the ski lift road to the where it intersects Devil's Backbone, then made our way under Harwood, thru the saddle and up to the top of Baldy. The south end of the bowl has snow in it and that is not too bad, the main...

Jim what was the condition of the dirt road above the turn off for the main trail

I got nothin, I have no REI card, i bought a lot of stuff there too in the last year, how do you get em? theyve never asked me when Ive been there if I wanted a card, i didnt know they had 'em :( are they a free discount card like the kind you get at Albertsons? Or do you have to pay to get one, li...

Not sure, but I think "Mother Nature" made her move with a little more than a day left (Spring Equinox is at March 20, 1:14 A.M. EDT) in winter. How's that saying go, better late than never. Eveyone break out their cold weather gear there's one last chance to play in the snow :shock: :D Th...
