Where is PETA when you need them?

It's a separate section. HSS (Hundred Saddles Section) . NHPS is Near Hundred Peaks Section

can't say the are many credible resources I personally prefer using hiking pole and have found them handy to keep snakes at bay. I d say for every snake you see you have probably walked by a 100 you didn't see. This is a recent rattlesnake encounter I had https://www.facebook.com/matt.maxon.16/ ... ...

Primula clevelandii

Seems to be way outside of the Bloom Period

NICE! 'nuther one added to my never ending list ;-O

They can however pull off if you're side hilling in steep terrain.HJ I agree with Jim on this. The take away from this and the plethora of incidents is the san gabriels can be dangerous in winter. Snow - melt - freeze - melt - freeze - melt on and on covered with snow makes for very dangerous ice c...

It would be nice if people will comply with the backcountry disposal recommendations but I don't see it happening. I'd be interested to see if a there is a fecal coliform bacteria spike in Santa...

N-ICE!

I'm not burning up the road but got there and back https://www.strava.com/activities/77486 ... 1479080219 The remains of an atomic wedgie gone horribly wrong was on the road going up. It is always interesting to speculate how these things come to be "Only in the Angeles" :lol: https://eisp...
