You sound like you need to do Yucaipa Ridge via Mill Creek Jumpoff to Galena and over to Little San Gorgonio, wait until snow melts. You would also like the San Antonio Ridge traverse from Iron to Baldy. While snow is still there go for Snow Creek to San Jacinto. Finish up your dinner with a Triplet ...

I hiked the whole area today. Route up to Jones has significant erosion at beginning but can be bypassed to the left. Rest of route is pretty solid, some people are going up this route. Route over to Hastings has minimal trail but also minimal brush. Route to Mt Wilson Fire Road is similarly minimal ...

I am a bit younger then you and I noticed over the last five years a significant slowing down of pace and thought it was age. It was age but it was also having extra weight on my frame . When I was younger I could power through with that extra weight not anymore. I lost all that weight got down to a ...

It's tough I did it as a day hike with Villager. The gain on the return was really unpleasant and it also is a lot of miles. I think it was just under 12 hours for me. The good news is once you climb Villager, you've got most of the climb done but that rolling ridge afterwards, no bueno on way back ...

A lived experience is what it says. You can have experiences that aren't lived for example reading, watching, hearing or seeing one. Those are all passive experiences that are not considered lived.

I don't believe that the Forest Service exists. All announcements are AI and the people driving around in those trucks are actually Kaiser nurses who need some extra cash so they have a dress up day and are told to issue as many tickets as possible.

More views of Baldy on Sunday, 10x up there.

I don't know much about where to find gold but I would bet that there is gold in Gold Canyon, just got a feeling.

Los Padres looking out to Anacapa and Santa Cruz Islands.

I usually do a longer cardio day on Thursday's if it is quiet at work. I'm going to go up at least to Orchard Camp and see what's what tomorrow.I would like to do Bastard's Ridge loop up to Wilson in a week or so but need to make sure I can get down from Manzanita Ridge.

I just saw Sierra Madre posted that the Mt. Wilson trail is now open, is it all the way to the bench or only to Orchard Camp?

Here's my Sunday picture

The order is over but it sounds like when they wake up and realize this that they will extend it.

There is a shortcut up the ridge that allows for easy passage versus following the road from the 39


Yep. The one time I did this I tried to take the road, but eventually gave up and jumped onto the ridge. Never went past the ridge. Taco: do you still never have free weekends?


I'm in my ...

There is a shortcut up the ridge that allows for easy passage versus following the road from the 39. I want to do this as a hike so let me know if you guys are going otherwise I'll probably go up in the next month with the cooler temps on a Sunday.

I finished up my hike to Twin Peaks on Sunday early afternoon near where the dirt road intersects the 2. I keep all my personal stuff in my day pack and transfer it to my pockets when I get in the car. I typically change shoes before I drive back and did the same on Sunday. Apparently as I was ...

Illegal growing is thriving as well if not at greater levels then prior to legalization. The main reason for the legalization was to tax the hell out of the growers/sellers and put some money into the coffers of government. The government has been overzealous and made running a legal pot business ...

I am referring to the north side of Waterman where the trail makes the loop out to the east on your map, there is that wide drainage that goes up in a southwesterly direction.

I was just up on Twin Peaks today and I take a short cut up the Waterman trail. There are three old roads that I cross as I go up the drainage to the ridge.

Both things can be true in that the reason for closures are ridiculous and the rules are the rules. It is clear that most closures have to do with lack of capability on the part of the FS and not the reason that is given to allow the area to grow back. The whole Los Padres has been left to go to ...

Where's Gary Nuetzel, it feels like people forgot about him and he disappeared in one of the most heavily hiked areas in the San Gabriels recently. I find his disappearance as interesting as Monica's just without the coverage.

There used to be a shooting range out there, not surprising. Hiking to Bare is littered with spent ammo.


Yep, my friend and I did Bare in 2018 and I kept thinking about the spent ammo. So I finally returned this year a couple times to clean up some of it.
Any info on that shooting range ...

I am in the 35-50 dollar camp. The more expensive shoes fall apart just as fast as the cheap ones in my experience or the tread wears down at a similar pace. The problem with the 25 dollar ones is they aren't comfortable and I have had some manufacturer problems where I've had to return them for ...

When I did Rose I did Tamarack too, that was my two peak challenge.

I have been fascinated by the small ridge between Squaw Canyon (renamed Hukaht Canyon) and the unnamed South Fork Rock Creek tributary. I had hiked last year to Peak 6,280 above Camp Glenwood and had scoped the route I wanted to do. I parked at a small pullout just before the road down to Camp ...
