Re: Palm springs tram

Re: Hiker shot by hunter

Re: INTROS - New members, introduce yourself here!

Re: Where the heck is Mt Chapman in relation to Timber Mountain?

Thanks HJ and Dudley. Somehow, I knew the people in this group would have access to some history that I did not have access to.

Where the heck is Mt Chapman in relation to Timber Mountain?

A Buddy and I went hiking last weekend through IceHouse Canyon with the intent to go to Timber Mountain, but instead we wound up on Mt. Chapman. Still plenty of snow up there at the time. I couldn't find Mt. Chapman on my topo map, so I was wondering where it is located relative to Timber mountain. ...

Way to go! 8)
