Went up to Pine Mountian today via the north Devils Backbone trail. The trail is pretty steep in spots with a lot of lose rock all along the trail, which made travel somewhat slow, (at least for me and my girlfriend). The weather today was actually pretty nice, not too hot and a nice breeze, which made for a nice hike. The only dissapointment was the sky was really hazy, couldn't really see that far in any direction, we had planned to also go to Dawson Peak but we figured it wasnt worth it since the views were not that good today, I could hardly see Mount Wilson from the top of Pine Mountian because of the haze Other than the not so good views it was another exciting day in the San Gabriel high country......
