I'm planning on going on a very large loop once the area officially opens next week. The trip date isn't set yet, just seeing if anyone is interested in a weekday hike from the 16th - 20th.
Starting / ending points will be chantry flats parking lot.
The route will traverse the Gabrieleno trail to spruce grove, up to Newcomb Saddle, down to DeVore campgrounds, up the Kenyon DeVore trail to MT Wilson, down to Hoegee's, and finally Upper Winters creek back to Chantry.
Total mileage estimate 19.7 miles:
Chantry > DeVore campgrounds: 7.2 miles
DeVore campgrounds > Wilson: 5.5 miles
Wilson > Chantry: 7.0 miles
Elevation Gain/Loss (in feet) estimate:
5250' Gain
4900' Loss
