I think the San Gabriels are ugly, but not too ugly, which makes them the most loveable :) I was hiking in Oregon a couple years ago and it was gorgeous. Too gorgeous in fact. It's hard to truly relate to anything that pretty. And I found myself wanting to be back in my much uglier forest. But when...

o wow that poodledog stuff

I've touched it tons of times and had no problem. I notice that I rarely if ever feel any pain even if I touch PO.

weird

It's like I'm naturally immune

poisonous with poison ivy and/or oak you mean?

While others will have much better, and direct answers........ I would guess, virtually every canyon has areas that are accessible, and inaccessible. The subject of the day, Eaton Canyon is accessible to the "first falls". It is also easily hiked into via about 1.3 miles above Henninger f...

Does something like this exist?

i.e. canyons that don't require some kind of ropes or other special equipment to get into

Can I get a coordinate for this peak?

Taco wrote: ↑I dig it too. It keeps it from getting crowded.

o yea that's true

also the san gabes feel apocalyptic and other worldly in a dark fantasy kind of way at times

The San Berdooz always feel more warm and welcoming, less sharp and pointy and stabby as the San Gabriels. Gentler terrain, better rock, etc. I dig trips there cause it's usually pretty low-key and fun, even if we end up covering a lot of ground. I don't like them more or less than the GS's, they'r...

Which is better the San Gabriels, the San Bernardinos, or the San Jacintos? Who knows? What mood am I in that day?

You don't have any biases at all or reasons for those biases and/or speculations about them?

Hey all, I've been looking a lot at SBD mountains on google earth and different hiking pages. Been there a few times. Does anyone else feel like the San Gabriels are just superior in some way in terms of nature? There's something more grand, epic and breathtaking about the SGMts than the SBDmts to ...

I have always wondered about Cucamonga canyon, how is it in general? I have looked down there from the top of Bighorn peak and Ontario peak and it looks interesting. However I never read any trails in the area except for the close Sapphire Falls trail. Is it worth the 15 dollar parking permit? :oop...

if so how long will it be open?

o and at what point does it become bad/difficult for driving and better for just walking/hiking?

thanks all

is the 1n34 road/san sevaine open to driving up on?

if so how long will it be open?

I'm sorry to be so ignorant, but which 10 essentials do you refer to?

I know some people went through on MBikes recently, so shouldn't be a problem on foot. From your posts, you looking to start at Stoddard-Barret and end up in Devore? Thinking about making a trek from Lytle Creek -> San Sevaine -> Barret Stoddard -> icehouse -> lytle creek again with a friend is tha...

Equipment? You mean like a "snow plow" attachment to clear the pine cones off the trail or flame thrower or clothes and shoes? i mean i don't have to take like ropes or... you know.... is it hikable down easily without dying/getting stuck, etc? is there snow right now there in the middle ...

So,

Is walking from Icehouse Canyon to Lytle Creek without equipment possible?

Thanks

Is lytle creek -> cucamonga canyon via the 1N34/San Sevaine Trail definitely get-throughable with a machete? Does anyone know if the trail is walkable/hikeable? I want to know there aren't major pieces of the road missing or something. Let me know, thanks. Thanks https://eispiraten.com/images-archiv...

If you're just hiking no parking permit is required.

I'd be more concerned my vehicle would be burglarized or have parts stolen than and thing else

What about if you left it overnight? still fine?

Wow!

Care to elaborate?

How risky is it NOT to have a pass, exactly?

Is cucamonga canyon open yet at all or is it still closed with a big flashing sign??

Maybe I should have said the barret-stoddard area

Can it be left overnight, for instance, for a long distance hike

If they could keep out the destructive elements of society, it would not come to this, here or elsewhere. Have you seen what damage has been done there lately? It really stinks, wealthy people, water sources, wildlife concerns, fire danger or not. most of it is pretty much untainted. the vast major...

Hi, I've recently been hiking as deeply as possible into Stoddard Canyon (as per a map). I can go just so far until a hill becomes too difficult to climb over to pass a 4th rappel that I came upon. Here's a brief description with a map: http://www.dankat.com/advents/stodar.htm Has anyone spent time ...

Hi. I'm fairly new to hiking (been exploring around the southeastern san gabes for a year or so. About 5-6 months ago, I found a very interesting canyon (I think this is the proper term for it) near Stoddard Canyon. Google earth coordinates: 34°12'43.04"N 117°39'39.42"W Has anyone else bee...
