Re: Tonto trail

Great shots Torrey, keep them coming :D

There's a bunch of us that love to see the maps as well, it helps visualize exactly where you went and allows others to plan trips.

We appreciate the effort you put into this - thanks.

I'm out of touch wit...

Re: The most remote parts of the San Gabriel mountains

Good enough answer. :-) 1. Fish Fork (if canyoneered) 2. Twin Peaks branch of West Fork San Gabe (just south of Twin Peaks) 3. Roberts Canyon just north of Azusa. Close to civilization, but it's real untracked as far as I can tell. Very thick in there. 4. Iron Fork of the East Fork San Gabe 5. Uppe...

I'll second that, Fish Fork South of Wrightwood at the base of Northwest Baldy chute or the drainage downstream from there is as remote as one can get - only know a handfull of individuals that have been back there - it's extemely nice and pristine :shock: :D
