EISPIRATEN

Took this a few days ago and it is really nice to be able to go from Rubio to Eaton in a direct route. I appreciate all the effort that has gone into it so far. kind of closes a loop in a trail system connecting the Altadena Crest trail, up to W. Fuji, up to Muir Peak, etc. still rough around the ed...

Awesome work!

I like your style.

Have to try these. My thorlos keeping getting holes in the soles.

Okay, I did a quick jaunt back up here this morning just to verify. Didn't want to be spreading bad info on the internet. It looks like I was mistaken. The SCE tractor trail is still navigable upwards to Lone Tree Trail. It was just that the upward heading trail is obstructed by plants, making it ea...

Decided to take the old SCE tractor road trail up to W. Fuji from the mouth of Rubio Canyon today and on the way noticed it was appearing more washed out than usual. Just very narrow with lots of slippery scree and sand. Wasn't like this last time I went up about a month ago. I kept encountering was...

supposedly El Niño will be bringing more as well

I camped on that land once and talked to the owner at the cafe about it. He said the hills all around there were private property and strongly discouraged me from climbing up and exploring. I got the impression people had been hurt doing so in the past and he didn't want the liability.

Interesting! Yeah it does appear to be a continuation of the tractor road where it takes a sharp right into the canyon, and then follow to the sets of electrical pylons further east. Out of curiosity I tried to hike up and get a different angle on it. Headed west on the Altadena Crest trail from the...

Pine Canyon, the one off of the Altadena Crest trail. Does anyone know if it's possible to ascend all the way from the base of the canyon to a peak? I passed through the west side of the canyon the other day coming from Fuji and could swear there was a trail high up on the east side of the canyon, b...

I don't really understand people going through such great lengths to grow weed in the mountains when there are so many dispensaries around.

smh

Stashing bikes is a great idea. I'll have to do that.

Wow. Glad I was hit that route right before the storm hit.

Thats pretty neat!

To me the weirdest part of the animal is the tail. Pit bulls or mastiffs don't have long, thick bushy tails like that which end in a bulb shape. Large cats do. It's one of their most distinctive features The gait is almost exactly that of a lioness. https://www.youtube.com/embed/qjW5hyrC8jE Just so ...

Interesting! I do this same hike from time to time but just at a more leisurely pace. Think it takes me about four hours or so, never timed it. I usually like to park at the pony rides and take the steep ridge use trail up to Beacon, then the rest of the route as you describe it. I usually skip the ...

That first photo looks really cool!

Did this same hike today. It was really cold! Clear and beautiful though.

Oodles of poodle, especially on Markham. I was having to squeeze between it at times.

Oh hey, free couch.

Exactly. I'm completely fine with paying a fee every year if we knew the funds were being appropriated well. I feel $30 is miniscule compared to the amount of use I get out of the forest.

I stopped by two REIs trying to get a 2014 annual pass and they didn't have any. Ended up getting one at Sports Chalet in Burbank. There seemed to be a few.

Awesome. Looking forwards to the next installments.
