Cresenta Valley Station handles most of the San Gabriel Mountains.

But I doubt they keep archives there. Likely it would be in the Records & Identification Bureau

What are the dates roughly for these events?

Detailed information would be from Police Reports from the Sheriff's dept Your best bet would be newspaper archives at least as a place to start Most public libraries have good newspaper online databases Some of the lesser known newspapers might only be available in microfiche in some local librarie...

Not sure what your implying I'm not implying anything, just making a statement I don't know you or your level of experience etc... You seemed to be asking some pretty basic questions. I just wanted to make a clear statement about what is out there to what appeared to be an inexperienced outdoors pe...

it's not an "official" trail. Rather it is a "USE" trail that has been improved here and there over the years by whomever had the time, energy, and inclination to do it. But that aside you are in a natural area, with many hazards. You need to be aware of the hazards. Be able to d...

It certainly is some domestic stock animal

I know of 3 common alternatives

1. Mule
2. Llama
3. Goat

Of the 3 the only one that would fit would be Mule. I cant ever remember seeing a Donkey but if people are using Goats and Llamas why not Donkeys

Pack goats
Packing with Llamas
Hiking with donkey

The weight / cost issue is like the speed/cost issue and all play directly into the misery index. It seems to me the people who are carrying the "Refrigerator packs" are miserable. My personal pack decision has several factors . One is my back is a mess I broke a chunk off one of the verte...

My weekday hikes are early morning.

I am rested and the weather is cooler

my suggestion would be to gather the gear & supplies for a 2 day trip and see if it fits in the smaller pack.

some peoples gotta have gear is anothers hunk of dead weight


so as a wise man said "it depends "

You should become NHPS member!

But congrats! HYOH and all that you've done way better than 99%+ of the people in the country

Can't really remember what my first peak was... something in Massachusetts for sure Mt Greylock comes to mind but I don't think so

This is a one way trip I did with some friends back in July 2010

This is my trip through here last year...

Since you boldly claimed the questionable achievement, out of laziness it should be awarded to you without debate. Congratulations, sir, on a job well not-done. :lol: OH another peak not under my belt! I did bag several saddles for the MSS 8) :roll: What happened to Bernd?? Caltrans, missed turns, ...

yep well known to any who have had any contact with it!

I try to step on it when possible

your feet ar sometimes the 2 best trail working tools you have

Being a founding & charter member of the NHPS as well as co-chairman of the membership and rules committees I feel my trip qualifies as a near summit. Since there has never been a NHPS near summit I will also claim first near summit! Not sure how well this will go over with other NHPS members an...

Wow, from the map it looks like you were one uphill away from the trace trail up to Trabuco Peak itself. After getting back I could see I was almost there The Main Divide Road from the Trabuco Peak area to Santiago Peak has always been in about the same condition as you found it. Try it again in th...

Been there... Done that... don't really have any plans to return unless someone I know really want to go.

But it does have good views on a clear day. Sounds like you had a good time

Thanks for the TR

The only creatures the worry me... have two legs

I've not seen many Bob Cats on Mt Lukens. Probably because there is lots more room for them to roam. This photo shows a Bob Cat so named because of the short "bobbed" tail https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/photobucket/i484/albums/rr207/cougarmagic/Misc%20Trailcam%20030412/sunp0049.jpg...

Bill Riley was a trail maintainer who passed about 10 years ago now. His wife is still out there. kathy Riley

There used to be a memorial plaque at the top where the trail met the road.

Bill Riley Trail The trailhead is the same one for the Mt Disappointment Road It is a nice Oak and Pine shaded walk with good views of the High Country Plenty of opportunities to get up on the road and walk back that way if the trail is too much The only downside will be the tiny gnats but they'er o...

I personally have seen more bear in the San gabriel Mtns than any other place.

I do spend a great deal of time in the mountains here and less in other areas so I cannot really say if there are more or less here.

But there are lots of bears in the san gabriel mountains

it's well below Alpine Cyn in the water course and above trail to Tom Sloane Saddle. or at least it was before the station fire

yeah
it is the steel tubing cage for the plane, and some other stuff
