EISPIRATEN

Last Thursday, two friends joined me on a hike to Smith Mountain. Standing tall at 5,111 this peak is a great workout. The last 800 feet of climbing packs a punch. This was my fourth time bagging this peak but and It has been at least 6 years or more since I hiked the upper Bear Canyon trail ...

A couple of weeks ago I checked out the re-opening of the Mt. Wilson trail.
I met a friend at Lizzies Inn and began the hike on the Mt. Wilson trail. We then ascended Charlies trail then re-joined the main trail to Orchard Camp. The trail was nice. From Charlies trail the views were awesome and we ...

Uncle Rico-IMO anyone can walk through on that road past the private properties. We did. It is an open road even though some may have other opinions. I do not know about the parcels.

Those are so really cool articles Dima.

WOW! LOVE THAT VIDEO!

I just hiked this trail but would like to go back. Did you see my trip report?

Two weeks ago, Bill and I planned a carpool shuttle and hiked Fall Creek trail. We met at Hidden Springs campground. After a short drive, we started at the white gate. It was a late start, around 8:30 am but the weather was good. It was overcast with some cool cloud formations above us. It turned ...

Cute frog. Picture # 7 looks like a pair of eyes on the tree to the right.

Yes we wandered around. We didnt go on the private property just walked by it on the road where you can access the main trail.


Considering my crew did all of the work on the trail and we had to study the entire area to be allowed to do the work, I'm obviously very aware of pretty much exactly ...

Jeff- it was a Chinese Pistachio tree that someone planted as we were told.

Last week Bill, Guy and myself checked out the Alder Creek trail that Kristen and some volunteers restored. We checked it out after the rain last Tuesday. I knew it was going to be a spectacular day as the clouds were putting on a show all along the ACF. The weather was perfect! We all really ...

someone forgot to send me the invite!!!!!!!!!!!!

How cool! I follow the Colorado 14ers page on facebook. Those are some bad ass mountains.

Gorgeous pics. I remember a friend talking about that peak the last time I hiked around Rock Creek. I am happy to see you both summit. Was there a register or benchmark?

Cool report! I would love to do something like this. Nobody around in the middle of nowhere. By the way your shoes look thrashed!
I love the pools. Thank God you made it out safely but next time take a beacon. We don't need another missing pirate.

Darn! I don't remember but it was there somewhere on the summit.

Awesome! I did this in 2018. Here is my report. I saw a bear on the trail too!

THIS IS HILLARIOUS.
It's on INSTAGRAM

It's been too long now!

I hope you find them! send me a picture and I will post it on the So Cal hikers Facebook page. They are always posting found items there.

Thanks for the info on the trail. I have been wanting to do this again! Maybe it was the Lowelifes bike club fixing the trail.

also, I never heard the term rest house before what is that?

By the way nice photos. When you go back count me in!
