EISPIRATEN

This is a great hike for this time of year when it's cooler. I remember taking a 2wd car out there with no problem as well. I never heard anything about car break-ins, but I agree, just go on a weekend when there will be other hikers out there.

WOW awesome big horn pic!

That looks like a really cool spot! How far is the hike in? Is any of it bike-able? The hike is about 5.5-6 miles but it is challenging. It would be too much trouble to take a bike due to all the water parts and rock. Is the trailhead at the site of the Wicht/Novak Camp? How far is that from the ma...

Yes, it was in Water Canyon at Thompson Camp. Unfortunately it wasn't apple season!

Panamint City had been on my to-do list for a while now and I finally got to make it out there last month. The road to the trailhead was not as bad as I was expecting and I think a normal 2wd car could have made it. There was plenty of water running through canyon which kind of surprised me, but I g...

Thanks for the update. I was actually thinking about heading out there one weekend specifically for the pools. Oh well!

Last weekend while heading up to Mt. Hawkins from Windy Gap I saw this poor looking sign post. Not sure what was once mounted to it. It does suck that people are taking these down as I usually find them helpful!

Thanks. I think I'll be going back to the Sierras in August and hopefully the mosquitoes won't be as bad.

Headed up the PCT High Trail from Agnew Meadows to Thousand Island Lake, then headed South on the JMT to Rosalie Lake, finally fi...

Awesome. Thanks dude.

Anyone know the conditions around this area? Is there still snow? Thinking about camping in Cooper Canyon April 6-7.

Nice pics. I love that trail. Dan who runs the camp is a super friendly guy if you ever run into him.

Thanks for the update. So the bowl still has good coverage? Haven't heard much about it lately.

Thanks both of you for posting. Was curious what that area was looking like around now. Looked like fun trips.

I would say start at Chantry Flats and hike up to Mt. Wilson.

It's pretty good. Probably one of my favorites in the San Gabriels so far. I still need to hike a lot of the other peaks.

A cold hike up Baden-Powell...

I'd definitely attend if it's on the weekend. I was looking forward to it last year but we all know how that went.

Great pictures! Thanks for sharing! Looks like an awesome trip.

I still came in from the East but just a roundabout way. I'd say that area is a little less green and the trees are less dense than being on the west side, but it's still a cool area with it's own unique landscape. I really want to check out the Domeland Wilderness next, it looks pretty interesting ...

Did a quick overnight backpacking trip in the South Sierra Wilderness from Kennedy Meadows to Clover Meadow. I had never been to this area before but it is pretty awesome and only about 4 hours from Orange County. You also don't need wilderness permits which is kind of nice! Trip report here: http:/...

Has anyone been here lately? Thinking about camping there tomorrow but not sure if there's still a lot of snow/ice on the trail up from the 2.

I was camping at Valley Forge Sat-Sun, I wonder if you passed us? We got a little of the rain.

Thanks for the compliments.

longcut: Yeah, should be a nice stretch though there. Trail was great and not many people.

Thanks dude!

Went for a short backpacking trip to Cooper Canyon last weekend. Was super nice! Just a little on the cold side!

Thanks for the update. I'll be heading out to that area this weekend. How were the road conditions on the 2?

I hiked Baldy on Monday and there were some icy spots on the Ski Hut Trail which posed a slipping hazard but other than that the trail is totally passable.

Thanks for the update. I'll be heading up there Monday and was curious of the conditions. Wish there was more snow.

Great work, love the photos and TR.
