There's now a button on the top-right.

Thanks HikeUp. Everytime I've been there it's a little challenging with all the ruts and overgrowth.

That's just N of Middle Mermaid, I guess. I've photos from West Mermaid , but they're of the wrong side of the ridge. Headsizeburrito has photos from Middle Mermaid itself , but can't see the thing you're talking about. So I guess you want a view from Triplet Rocks... When I was there I made a panor...

Yikes...burning into Iron Mtn.

Well, three years after your post, I made it to the top of White Mountain. I'll add a few recent photos, but your documentation is pretty thorough. I considered trying to bike it, but didn't want to worry about getting the tire pressure right or risk damaging the bike. I drove about halfway up White...

I think I'll survive.

Nice job, you two.

The Devil's Backbone trail is still there. It's in good shape. The alternative, contouring route along the summit push, however, has seen better days. Much of that tread is covered in rocks. The main path is fine though.

I cant even tell what you are selling.

Nice work lads. I've never been to the falls. Now I have a reason to go and check it out.

I see that you cleaned Sean out from the underbrush.

Nice work!

You look like an old lady

Done.

I know from reading here that Lookout Mountain has been pretty much only accessible via Bear Canyon Trail for a while and even then appears like it's some difficult route-finding. From some deeper Googling it sounds like the mountain used to be accessible via Cattle / Cow Canyon (i.e. Glendora Ridge...

For those interested the property containing the private road is for rent... :lol: Digging into the parcel information ( parcel 1, parcel 2 ) it appears the owners who purchased the property in 2022 triggering a reassessment at $1.6m and $2.2m respectively are now past due on their 2024 tax bill ($4...

A few years back, Dima and I rode up to the top of White Mtn Peak from Grandview campground above 8,000ft. Clearly, the pure way to do it would be to ride from the lowest realistic point, that being either Big Pine (a lot of pavement), or Bishop (nearly all dirt). I took my gravel bike last time whi...

Things I knew before but was reminded of on this trip: the mountain doesn't give a shit about you. It doesn't care how young or old or fit you are. You will never conquer it. You can choose to test yourself on it or stay at home and watch TV. The mountain will always be there, indifferent. I have ne...

After conferring with various woodland creatures, I have decided to quit after all. I know I said I would never quit, but I'm a foolish old man who's losing his mind, so you're a fool to believe anything I say. With that said, I fully endorse Bigfoot's daughter, Cackala, in the upcoming election. Sh...

Also I should point out I created and recently launched Trip Report . It's something that I always wish existed, so I learned how to build it, and then I did (it took a few years...). It's a passion project and something I think people in this community might enjoy. I hope some of you use it to crea...

I read the California Appeals Court case . The easements are for "hiking and equestrian trails." Other activities are not mentioned. In your pursuit of climbing, I wouldn't use the argument that climbing is not different from hiking or riding horses. First, it's inherently more dangerous t...

I remember the Mars Bonfire and George Wysup controversy. There was a lot of conversation about what constituted sumitting a peak as some HPS peaks required third class climbing. They were so worried about finishing lists and the conventional opinion was getting to the bottom of a climb was a summit...
