Yes, just a bit.

That was before my latest knee injury which occurred in May IIRC. I took it really slow since I didn't have any climbing/canyoneering equipment with me. It's not all that bad, but the exposure is quite intimidating.

If you look closely, you can see some webbing on the downed tree that someone used as an anchor, someone with better sense than me evidently. It had been some time since I had been down this route (15 years?). The drop in didn't used to be that rough. There was sort of a switch backy use trail that got you down quite a bit further to a much easier drop in. I could find only a couple of traces of that use trail which is of no further value; you just have to drop in. One could also ascend this drop in, which would probably be easier since it's an ascent. Either way, it's a good bit of exposure.

Which peak?

AW~ · Post by **AW~** » Fri Aug 06, 2010 3:19 pm

previous one was from the east of it...this one from SE...

AW~ · Post by **AW~** » Fri Aug 06, 2010 4:59 pm

Rattlesnake peak....

Looking into Rattlesnake Canyon?

Post by **HikeUp** » Fri Aug 06, 2010 6:48 pm

I'm gonna have to disagree....that doesn't look like Rattlesnake. This is Rattlesnake from the SE...

Even from down in the ditches (canyons

) I don't think it'd look like your SE picture. But, then again, I don't go down into those ditches too often!

edit: Maybe from the NE (like Taco says, looking up Rattlesnake Cyn.)

AW likes to confuse us with directions

Post by **Hikin_Jim** » Fri Aug 06, 2010 9:00 pm

And provide us with the answer. Does take some of the guesswork out of it I guess.

I think I recognize the lump in the foreground as that one you pass just before reaching the BTN.

AW~ · Post by **AW~** » Mon Aug 09, 2010 9:34 am

Yup, I always get that one confused....but someone else continue the thread....hehehe I don't have many peak pictures....maybe someone knows where this is...

hints:
1) Lots of people pass by this one
2) canyon with lots of water by SG standards
3) location is top of named waterfall

AW~ · Post by **AW~** » Mon Aug 09, 2010 12:17 pm

named waterfall....

Ze Hiker · Post by **Ze Hiker** » Mon Aug 09, 2010 2:51 pm

no idea, just gonna guess...trail canyon falls?

cougarmagic · Post by **cougarmagic** » Mon Aug 09, 2010 3:13 pm

Cooper Canyon.

AW~ · Post by **AW~** » Mon Aug 09, 2010 3:43 pm

Terry Morse · Post by **Terry Morse** » Mon Aug 09, 2010 4:02 pm

I didn't take this photo. Caption reads:

P-51 'Mustang' fighter in flight. Inglewood, California, October 1942.

Does anyone know the area this plane is flying over? What's that prominent ridge in the background?

tough one....my guess is the photo is flying over the forest just north of Asuza. In that case the ridge is the Redbox-Rincon rd and Pine Mtn is shown. The road at the bottom would be the Silver Fish road/trail. The ridge coming down from Pine Mtn is a firebreak that they plan to restore...actually last time I thought I saw it had been mostly restored with the Morris Fire.

South side of Pine Mtn on Google Earth compared to your photo

Daaaaaaaaaayum, early P51! P51B? 4x .50's. Nutso! Sweet pic!

And yup, that's little Pine.

I'll take a WAG at looking north across East Fork around Davis Mine or Follow's Camp.

Good guess, but it's closer to Azusa.

Very good.

Not sure what "GMR" stands for?

Red hot, but "Taken from what canyon?"

Ze Hiker · Post by **Ze Hiker** » Mon May 21, 2012 1:37 pm

Pine Canyon?

GMR = glendora mountain road
