Taco, the views from sugarloaf are ok. You get a good look at San Antonio Canyon. There was a thick fog at about 3000' feet, so I couldn't see much to the west. JayO, I should have called in for a permit, but I decided to do this hike at the last minute. I was short on time on Thursday so I couldn't...

Did a nice solo loop yesterday in the Ice House canyon area. When I got to the parking lot at 6:30am it was closed, so I parked on the street. At the trail head there were signs saying "No Entry". I assumed they just hadn’t removed the signs yet. I climbed up Falling Rock Canyon towards Su...

I did a small loop in the Ice House canyon area yesterday. When I arrived at 6am the parking lot was blocked, and there were signs saying "closed". I parked on the street and started hiking. When I returend about 1pm the parking lot was open and all signs were removed.

I just spoke with someone at the Mt. Baldy Visitor center and they told me "Angeles National Forest tentatively to be reopened on Thursday 11-8-07".

So I guess that means it will be open???

The Santa Ana Mountains are closed. In fact the Santiago fire is still burning in theses mountains. I live in South OC, so i hike in the here when I am short on time. I think Sitton peak is the most scenic, while Santiago is the most challenging. Its not hard, just long, hot and dry. Bedford peak is...

We obviously aren't doing this hike this weekend becasue of the closure, but I think we are going to do mount Langley on Sunday. If anyone want to go we have room for 2 more.

I spoke with a ranger for the SG National Forest today. She said the forest will be closed at least for the next two weeks, and possibly until after a major rain.

Anybody have a guess if the SG National forest will be re-opened by this Sat?
If not anyone want to carpool to the southern sierra????? Olancha peak?? langley?? Cirque???

Anyone know is The Cucamonga Wilderness is considered part of the National Forest?

if the fires are still out of control, we may cancel, but i think things should be under control by then.

thanks for the link travis

My buddy and I are going to do a loop in the Ice house canyon area on the 27th if anyone wants to join. The plan is ice house trailhead to sugarloaf via falling rock canyon, ontario, big horn, cucamunga, etiwanda, icehouse saddle, then back to ice house trail head. We will start at 6:30. PM me if yo...

just an observation:

I started a post at at 9:15 PM on Oct 13, and when it was posted it said Sun Oct 14, 2007 4:15 am??

Head up to Baldy area for a 4 peak loop with the Outdoors Club. 9 of us left Manker at about 7:30 and went up the ski hut trail to Baldy. After a short break we headed over to Dawson, then onto Pine. Hiking back up to Baldy from the Dawson/Baldy saddle was brutal. That is one steep trail. Once we cl...

This is a neat site for gps tracks and info on peaks, and routes. It is a wiki so it is created and edited by users. http://www.tierrawiki.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
