Re: Owens Peak, southern Sierra, 5.21.10

Nice pics Norma and Dave, I had seen photos of the pictographs before but did not connect them with Owens Peak, will definitely look out for them next time I'm there. I have to agree with you that those Peaks (Owens, Morris, Jenkins) make great excursions when your between other hikes, there is some...

Re: East Fork to Eagle Mine (and a little BHR trail exploration)

Congratulations, thats some hike and the pics were great.

Re: Double Iron

You guys must be made of "iron", twice in one day is total madness, congratulations.

Was there still much snow on the traverse to Mt Baldy?

Re: Iron Mountain,

There use to be a self register Stand at the trailhead but they removed it about two years ago. Now I get permits for that area from the Glendora Forest Ranger Station although they don't seem to know much about the Sheep Mountain Wilderness area they will issue one. I'm not even sure if its necessa...

Re: East Fork to Baldora / Widco Mine

Hi Ze, I saw you guys approaching the Saddle as I was on my way back from Iron Mountain, looks like you had a pretty good time out there and your pics were great. There is another mine out that way called Eagle, I was descending the San Antonio Ridge about 8 years back and took shelter there during ...
