Harding falls was fun! I actually went a few ears back when we actually had water then went back last year and it was pretty dry. Chiquito falls can wait for a wet year :( Margarita peak Intrests me, that drive is pretty bad. I've been doing this little sub peak off the bell ridge trail from Robinso...

i figured there is a lot of exploring to do without driving all the way out to the San Gabriel range. 2040 was fun and quick i might start doing it more as a run loop with the san juan trail and the fire station ridge. i saw all the use trails on google earth and figured it would "go". los...

Random OC Peaklet Off the Ortega hwy by the san juan fire station is a small nameless peak I figured would be a good climb. I Started from the San Juan trailhead and up the switchbacks to the first saddle. Then I took up a brushy use trail to the summit. I had been looking on Google earth a few ways...

Los Pinos Peak – Bell Ridge – Yaeger Mesa – Trabuco Canyon Trail loop I hiked/ran the same loop in consecutive weeks. I thought it was some of the best scenery in all of the Santa Ana Mountains. Started on the main divide road near bluejay campground and followed the normal route to los pinos peak ~...

Amazing! What's next? Evening stroll up bighorn ridge?

I came across a flipped over car on the 39 tonight. I was on my way back from hiking islip and saw flashing lights and a flipped over sedan. The driver looked shaken up but ok, anf fire trucks had just arrived looked like it had just happened around 9. Then I passed a dui checkpoint shortly after ri...

I've been wanting to do this peak for a few years, but from the big pine basin side. lucky! Looks epic.

yes forest grown crap is going to be cheaper and sold on the streets for cheap. But the amount of medical pot the dispensaries go through would be nearly impossible to do and isn't really worth the hassle, especially when you can do an efficient hydroponic setup in a back room of a house. grown in t...

Dispensary pot is not grown in the mountains it's grown in houses with electricity and water.

I went back and did pretty much the same hike over again. this time i crossed over gunsight notch but didnt feel up to a full baldy-iron-baldy so i crossed back over gunsight and went to find the rest of the mine.

i did - pics https://www.flickr.com/photos/98779591@ ... 1703287834

I have one from last week I was going to do a TR for but I've been busy.

Looks like a ton of fun. I'm always so jealous of the views climbers get of the valley.

From gunsight it only really took me about 10-15 down to where I started seeing stuff. Total I'd say I spent about 30-40 minutes total off the ridge. And hour and I probably would have found the mine and had time for snacks and selfies at the cabin foundation. I had two medium coffees by the time I ...

Walker- the clouds rolling in were great! Definitely helped to climb baldy again with nice views. Ze- first off thanks! Your trip reports were essential in helping me find it. If/when I go back I think I'll copy your route up from coldwater. I wasn't sure about the route finding on the way up, but n...

On Tuesday morning I started up the Ski hut trail around 10:30 pretty late, but I figured I would still be able to get a decent hike in before sunset. I was trying to make up time the entire time up jogging where the trail let me. Made the summit in less than 2hrs and stopped for all of 30 seconds t...

Ive always looked up at that little peak and wondered if it was possible to climb or too loose. cool hike!

I went for a run in Blackstar Canyon in the Santa Ana’s yesterday after work. I started out at about 5pm down the fire road, the temps were still high probably mid-high 80’s. Lower reaches of the canyon are pretty Ran past the turn off for the popular waterfall (probably dry anyways) and up the wind...

fun hike, I don't do it as often as i should its only like 15min drive from my house.

almost get run over by any mountain bikers?

Yea the view of rabbit from villager was discouraging but nothing compared to how far the trailhead seems from rabbit peak.

My one bit of advice is once you leave villager for rabbit DO NOT LOOK BACK! 11.5 miles isn't a whole lot but it's all in a straight line and it makes it seem farther.

The sun getting covered up was fantastic! Especially after 6-7hours of hiking with the sun beating down on me. There were a few decent shade trees I was using and a great rock shelter right after you drop down off villager on the way to rabbit. This shelter would make a great campsite. The trail sta...

Days off this week had a rainy forecast for most of the LA/OC area, so I decided to drive to sunny skies out in Anza Borrego. I decided to try to hike to Villager peak and Rabbit If I felt up to the challenge. Drove out Tuesday night and slept in my car at the Yaqui pass campground. I woke up at 6:3...

I will take a run out that way early next week to see if I can find it. Assuming it's in the brush on the south side of the peak it's probably still sitting there.

4/8/15 I started at the East fork parking area at around 8am for my weekly run/hike. My intentions were to run all the way to the bridge and explore past the narrows possibly checking out Ross gulch falls. About the time I reached swan rock I had already started feeling bored… something about going ...

Yea I used that yellow rope and got to the bypass up on the canyon wall checking things out.

Back in 2011 there was enough water in the upper canyon falls pool to jump from the rocks above. All the waterfalls in that area are sad now tenaja, lion, Ortega, chiquito all running dry.

I've gone down to where the rope work starts, really cool geology. Usually there are 1000's of frogs on the single track falls. There is a bypass trail from the top of sled falls down into the mid canyon stretch and I have heard on one guy who made it through the canyon without ropes. Always been in...

I believe the trail he is talking about is the direct route up the ridge from the trabuco trail then follow the "regular" trail that switchbacks a few times in the offshoot canyon from trabuco canyon where the plane crash is.

I was just there on thurday last week!

love that trail, rarely do i see another person on it.

cant wait for spring, the mesqa gets soo vibrant green.

the day the fire started around 6PM I ran up the Harding truck trail to see if i could get any pictures of the fire/air support. It was like a personal air show with 6-7 planes doing flybys, the DC-10 was pretty cool. I didnt get far enough up to get any real pictures but cool in person. I'm sad abo...

Saw one of these fliers near markham saddle, this guy gets around. If he is real.
