Re: General Conditions
Wilderness Park in Claremont is closed until further notice. I expect to read about storm damage everywhere.

I was up there on NYE morning, first time ever for me - I walked up from Altadena St because the gate was still locked. Sign at the other side.... IMG_9806.jpg Some trail getting washed out.

Big Echo loop
Sean and I met up on Friday after Thanksgiving for a stroll in the local mountains. My plan was to go up Mt Lowe from below Echo Mountain so I was amenable to ascending via Rubio Canyon, this was really interesting because of the old incline railway bed. The various trails cross and follow the rail ...

Doesn't look too cold since you're wearing short sleeves.
I like Stoddard, not much effort for some really nice views.

Re: Cardboard Tent
Taco and I both use a Tyvek tarp. My review: works OK, but is extremely loud and crinkly. Maybe that goes away after some time, but I'm not there yet. Crumple it up, run it through the clothes washer and hang to dry. Makes it nice and soft and most important, quiet. I should probably add that I use...

Along the John Muir Trail, north of the Palisade Lakes area. I don't know if it was to suggest going across on the tree or taking the actual trail to the right, I did the latter.

Re: Cardboard Tent
How much does it weigh - before and after the rain?
I recall reading on Backpacking Light years ago a guy made a tent out of tyvek.

Last weekend I took a quick jaunt up San Gabriel and Disappointment on Saturday, the clear morning skies made for some fantastic views from up there. After the storm I saw a little snow, the north side of SG was mostly ice-covered so I was careful on the downhill part. There were only a couple sets ...

Re: Mini trip report: Baldy on Nov 18
How was the wind? I was on Sunset this morning and it was very windy, enough so that I didn't spend much time there despite lugging the Jetboil up with me. It blew hard enough to rock me back while sitting on a tree stump and my hands were so cold I couldn't zip up my windbreaker. (no gloves)

I looked around, albeit not very hard, and didn't see any benchmarks. Maybe we'll do a group hike/camp up there and you can show the rest of us.Girl Hiker wrote: ↑Nice pics. There is also two benchmarks by the rocks.

Pacifico
October 9, 2022 A few weeks ago I expanded my world a little bit and walked for a while on the Pacific Crest Trail, going to visit Pacifico. I read some reports and thought I might enjoy the shorter walk from the east side because it's a pretty long drive from home just to reach a trailhead. Anyway,...

Re: Passin' Thru the Sierras
Day 6- Because of the wind, I slept in a bit as the sun was nearly above the surrounding peaks while packing up my stuff. Another delayed breakfast meant I was on the trail relatively early and I reached Bishop Pass in less than one hour. Shortly after that I started to run into day-hikers, which I ...

Day 5- Starting the day with a downhill walk of about two miles was a nice change, I celebrated with a long breakfast break at the fabulous Grouse Meadow. On reaching the next trail junction, I bid a fond farewell to the JMT and started up the familiar Dust Basin trail. I came down this route in 201...

Passin' Thru the Sierras
September 19-24, 2002 I spent 5-plus days walking from Onion Valley to South Lake last month. The cool breeze every day and below-freezing nights kept the mosquitos away and the late season start made the John Muir Trail a lot less crowded. While there I crossed Kearsarge, Glen, Pinchot, Mather and ...

I couldn't find any flow there two years ago. It was early May, so it wouldn't have been dried out yet.
