Ginormous is good! brings out the beautiful colors in your pics and they are great! I enjoyed reading your trip report

HAHA!!
That's the same bear!

I'm sure it was a nice pleasant hike. I drove by the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park on Thursday and the road was closed along with the Glendora Mtn Road. Signs were posted that the roads would be closed for the ext 5 days. Lucky for you they opened it but unfortunately the GMR is still closed. Nice...

SWEET!
Did you take a dip? I like the cool rock formation, reminds me or something I've seen before. Cool Bench Mark!

Thanks! Yes it was a long day but well it. My favorite part was the Army pass

We did the Chocolate Lakes loop back in 2006. We lost the trail on the descent to Ruwau Lake and started boulder hopping down. About halfway, I looked to my right and saw a perfectly maintained trail. Where did that come from? It's a great hike in beautiful country. Thanks for the post! I'm sorry t...

It has been over a year since I camped out at Chocolate Lakes and attempted Cloud Ripper being unsuccesful I bagged Chocolate Peak instead. This time around it was nice to re-visit the beauty of Chocolate lakes that bring peace and serenity to this crazy world we live in. https://eispiraten.com/imag...

Thanks! It was an awesome climb and very cool!

It was a beautiful weekend and yes a very popular spot! quite a few peeps hiking up to Langley. We did pass by Muir Lake very pretty.
thanks

I wasn't with US Hiking Group. I was with my BF. training for the big one. Langley was a training hike for me and yes the weather was perfect!
thanks

Sean and I camped out at Horseshoe Meadows on Saturday evening to bag Mt. Langley and started our journey at 4am on Sunday. https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/gallery.myff.org/gallery/2003960/DSC05652.JPG We hiked up to the junction of New Army Pass Split and continued on to the Cottonwood Lakes...

Nice TR and pics. When we went up there cascade canyon was one big mess! Sounds like it still is but I didn't see any berries! Glad you made it to Turtles Beak.

Hi It might sound unusual but according to the station Rangers there was a sand storm that came in from Mexico and they closed off the areas to hiking. Tbey were very concerned about hikers going in that area. I'm sure there was an illegal way of hiking through but we weren't about to take that chan...

It's nice to see a section of the PCT I haven't visited yet!

On Saturday morning, the original plan was to hike up to Taquitz Pk and to rack up some miles, However the Rangers warned us of a sand storm and closed the trail leading to the Peak. The alternative was to bag some nearby peaks including San Jacinto the easy way. We headed towards Round valley https...

Nice report! This is my second time reading it
Still trying to get you know who to take me there soon!

Great Pictures! Nice tg see Cloud Ripper with snow!

I heard about a really cool hike called the "Dragon's back" trail in the Santa Barbara area, that involved some awesome rock climbing up a steep ridge that resembled the humps of a Dragon's spine. https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/gallery.myff.org/gallery/1989685/20160612_165836.jpg S...
