Thanks for posting this. Last winter I posted wanting to know the condition. Sounds like something I'd like to do,.....snakes though. YIKES

Great pics. Beautiful. Thanks!

I'm with ya -

There was a video/story of this story on the LA Times blog. Apparently the vid showed a very reckless motorcyclist. When I got to the vid it was not accessible.

Love the SGMs - Be safe all.

Thanks HikeUp. Next time I'm up there I'll check it out. Here are some pics if anyone is interested

Hi all, Went to Waterman yesterday. Wanted to do the Waterman trail, but somehow missed it and took one of the fire roads up to the ski area. Upon return I found the singletrack Waterman Trail. At the top of Waterman I poked around the ski area and top of chair #2 and #3 ridge.Looking south from tha...

Very cool! Thank you guys for sharing your stories and photos.

Thanks for the post. I was wondering about that section. Does that section take off just outta Sturde?

ANother question if you will -- Can you catch the Rim Trail from Newcs Pass?

Wonder if they'll ever catch the guy who started the Station Fire. Are they still even investigating or gone cold?

NICE! Thanks for sharing. Want to get up there!

This may have been posted already. Looks like they're trying to get her open.

Getting some good updates here: http://www.sierramadrenews.net/ 11:45am UPDATE: Just spoke to LASD again. They stated that the suspect is still at large at this time. She again stated that there is a press release on the way, however, this time she stated that they are currently editing the release....

Today I did the hike from Sierra Madre to Mt. Wilson. At the Observatory, the Police would not let hikers go down the main trail. I thought they found the body at the observatory, but maybe they were searching for the suspect. If you are going hiking in that area tomorrow, expect the police to stil...

Looks like the victim's car is missing. My take is that this happened near the main road. I may be wrong. Not a lot of info. Wonder if this was a car jacking or a deal gone bad. Sometimes it's a crazy mixed up f'ed up world.

Thanks Cougar! Too bad it's not in the evening when working folks can attend.

Trail runner / scrambler here - used to enjoy Arroyo Seco before the Station Fire. Run a few ultras. Some good local races on dirt (shorter distance = Baldy Run 2 Top, Mt Wilson Trail Race, Lasse Viren in SM Mountains). Rose Bowl is local so I hit side dirt trails instead of pavement --- Hahamongna ...

So no work for me tomorrow and I want to test out my Yak Trax on Waterman tomorrow (Thursday) / from ACH. Still too deep? Appreciate any updates on conditions.

Happy Trails- Shreddy

Illusive wrote: ↑which yaktrax? the new xtr with the anti snow plates, or the regular rubber ones with metal rings around the base?

Not extreme ---- AND I found out today that the SNOW was way too deep. Oh well. It was a nice drive.

ACH closed just beyond Waterman ---- Road not plowed

Hey Ted --

Is this Buckhorn trail? Wanted to do this within the next few days. Think YakTrax and trail running shoes could handle it?

Thanks for the tip / found the thread .... Looks like the trail may be a bit sketchy,

I know the trail is officially closed, but has anyone been on this section recently and can tell us the condition? Anyone ever done this then the Rim trail to Wilson?

Hey folks --

Looking for a short trip up in the snow to try our my Yak Trax -- Would Buckhorn to Waterman (Trip 60 Trails of the Angeles) be doable. It seems to be a regularly frequented trail. I hike to the top then run down one of the roads. Think it's relatively safe?

Here's a link to a story discussing Wednesday's meeting:
