Lars,
Emailed me said we had a nice group and was happy we could visit him.
@Matt- Lars wants to send you pics of the maps you inquired about. I can forward you his email in a private message but it's on his business card.
I just don't want to advertise it

CHIEF PEAK
Last Wednesday, my friend picked me up at around 530 am and we headed our to Ojai. We had intended to start hiking at 730 am but we had made several stops along the way to get breakfast and other necessities. We finally arrived at Rose Valley campground just before 9am When we arrived it was a chill...

Whoooohoooo!!! I'm so excited. We are on for 10 am. Meet by the gate. I have 4 ppl going so far. My friend has a jeep and says he can take 5 of us. The road isn't too bad at least where we walked to Rabbit so I'm sure if you have a truck you will make it. I'm hoping more mine enthusiasts can go. See...

Mine tour
The owner of the Mine near the Monte Cristo area has offered to give us a tour November 9th. If you are interested in going let me know so I can send him the list. He will open the gate and we can drive up instead of walking to the mine area I had posted this in Hidden Springs but someone blocked my...

Re: CHANTRY FLATS
Thanks for the report. Do you mean you took the Gabrielino-Upper Falls loop? Winter Creek doesn't connect with Upper Falls. I'm curious how far they've restored the Gabrielino. We took the Upper Falls trail that connects to the Lower Winter Creek trail. We did not continue on the Upper Winter Creek...

Re: CHANTRY FLATS
Nate- the fire didn't affect much of the area where we started from the lower parking lot. One cabin did burn which was close to the trailhead and the cool bridge that was once there. The majority of cabins were saved. The cabins at Sturtevant camp were burned but they are currently rebuilding. As w...

Re: CHANTRY FLATS
The sign said Upper Falls trail. I'll post a picture of it later.
There's a split to continue going up or go on the trail we did above the falls.

CHANTRY FLATS
This morning Jeff and I checked out Chantry Flats. We really had no specific trails in mind but we were both excited to see Sturtevant Falls. Thank God It wasn't crowded. There were only a few cars in the parking lot and a couple of bikers. As we descended the newly paved road, the first thing we ob...

I just noticed we don't have a back to the top button like we did with the old forum page.
If we do I don't see it.

Re: Bridge Fire
I climbed Rattlesnake, I think in 2015. Not sure if I did a TR anyways it was pretty clear. Not easy but a good steep climb with a few poodle dog bushes at the top.
