I teamed up with HikeUp for this one. The purpose was to check on a camera in the area, which disappointingly only had a couple videos of deer. But the day was beautiful, and we got to break trail on about 4 inches of powdery snow. Of course, the sun came out within an hour or so, and we got to enjoy hiking in the snow while still being warm - a California specialty!
Huge bear tracks near the camera (but not near enough!)
And general San Gabriel awesomeness:
mmmm Triplets....

I think we said Hi to you!! We were coming back up, almost to the parking lot, around 10:30 I think...I remember thinking "hey, that guy looks like Elwood.." Where did you see tracks?
Tracks were on the lower third of the trail in shallow snow. Wasn't paying close attention but I think near gullies below 6621', or 6960' bumps. I am amused by the fact that we coincidentally noted your and Hike Up's boot tracks were discontinued.
Dang it, I also thought that was you Elwood. I would of asked if I wasn't enjoying a bout of asthma - wasn't in a talking mood. Thanks btw for yielding! Next time for sure.
I'll add a couple of pics.
Bear print with claws showing...
Snow was a beautiful powder (note critter tracks on left)...
More "San Gabriel awesomeness"...
A scenic trail indeed.

Great pics. Please forgive the hijack, but I know the guy who directed the movie in your avatar, The Canyon. Did you have something to do with the film?

No, I just thought the movie was fun. Are you in the business too? I'm a sound editor. (mostly TV)titanhangman wrote: ↑Great pics. Please forgive the hijack, but I know the guy who directed the movie in your avatar, The Canyon. Did you have something to do with the film?

Ah, got it. Nope, not in the business, but I did work for the guy who directed The Canyon. He invited me to the premiere, which I wasn't able to make. It's such an obscure movie I was kind of shocked to see it in your avatar, so I assumed you worked on it.
