Upper Fish Fork

Hiked from Wrightwood to upper fish fork with dog, the sign at upper fish fork appears to be broken. There are good campsites near the stream equipped with rock tables and fire pits if any one is interested. The water seems to be flowing good. The trail down to upper fish fork is not obvious from li...

Re: Most remote places in the San Gabriels

The DPT (Dawson Peak Trail) covers a remote region for a moderate distance. Has some of the greatest scenery in the SG in my opinion.

Re: devils punchbowl to mt williamson?

I've done this before, and it's a steep incline in a few areas. This was staying on the north-south ridge just east of the canyon. The ridge become knife-cut halfway up and actually becomes fun (3rd class), but that section is short-lived.

Re: What's the hardest hike you've ever done?

So, did you go to the camp on Fish Fork above the falls or did you go to the camp where Fish Fork joins the N Fork of the San Gabriel River? What route did you take from Guffy? Just down the road? And then the trail from Lupine or down Prairie Fork to the N Fork? I believe we camped at the fish for...

Bush wacking was notorious in the canyon, and we opted to hike up to the crest of smith ridge instead. bushwacking became even worse, an...

Re: Vincent Gulch to Pine Mountain

yes, the vincent gulch trail, you reach east fork 5 miles from vincent gap.

Then you climb onto the ridge over steep ground, and hike a use trail to the top of pine mountain. Several firebreaks were encountered.

Then you take the north backbone trail down to wrightwood. and have a shuttle there.

Re: Vincent Gulch to Pine Mountain

yes, ive done the route from vincent gap to pine mountain. The hike is a long slog but not as hard as you would think. Just make sure to take the turn from gulch onto the right ridge. Its hard to see where exactly to go from down below. Lots of bighorn on route. Ridge is straigthforward. Shuttle or ...
