Guess the trail name!

Post by **Sean** » Sat Aug 08, 2020 8:31 am

Rules:

1. Post a photo of a trail in SoCal or the Sierras. Name the range it's in. If it's not in the San Gabriels, you might want to give a small hint.
2. Pick a stretch of the trail with a recognizable feature or two, such as distinctive terrain, a sign, a cabin, historic ruins, a waterfall, a peak, etc.
3. Whoever correctly guesses the trail name gets to post the next photo--or say "pass," in which case anyone else can post the next picture.

I'll start with one from the San Gabriel high country in 2015. Guess the trail name!

Is this sign up on the Pine-Dawson saddle?

That's the trail going off to the right. What trail are we on?

7W05.2 affectionately know as the north devil's backbone trail.

Sticking with Sean’s rules, I’ll “pass” ‘til I can get at my trove of trail pictures.

This trail is in the San Gabriel Mountains. What's the trail and where is the picture taken from?

Post by **tekewin** » Tue Aug 11, 2020 6:06 am

Cucamonga Peak Trail from Joe Elliot Campground.

Well done tekewin, 7W04.5 indeed. Your turn sir.

Post by **tekewin** » Tue Aug 11, 2020 7:53 am

We'll stay in the San Gabriels... what trail and location?

Elwood · Post by **Elwood** » Wed Aug 12, 2020 6:57 am

Three 'T's towards Telegraph 7W04.4 FYI I compared this picture to some of mine BEFORE noting the filename of your linked picture.

Post by **tekewin** » Wed Aug 12, 2020 6:59 am

Correct! An easy one, and I'll be careful with the file name next time (doh!). Back to you.

Here's one, definitely in the San Gabriel's:

Post by **tekewin** » Thu Aug 13, 2020 8:16 am

This is just a guess. Is it 10W04 south of Three Points?

Post by **HikeUp** » Thu Aug 13, 2020 8:29 am

I'm gonna say 10W05 on the way up to Waterman from Hwy 2/Buckhorn, with a view of East Twin.

Elwood · Post by **Elwood** » Thu Aug 13, 2020 9:24 am

This was from a Twin Peaks / Waterman hike, so the view is looking back towards East Twin on 10W04. Well done tekewin. I guess you're it again. Hike Up, I hadn't quite turned onto the peak trail yet no boots on 10W05 when this picture was taken.

This one is harder, in the Santa Ana Mountains. What trail?

Here is a hint. It starts at the Morgan trailhead on South Main Divide Road.

Random guess based upon clue: San Mateo Peak Trail.

Never been there.

Right on! It's a short and easy 4 miler, but nice views and varied terrain.

Your turn, Rico.

Ok, this is back in the San Gabes. No distinctive features per se, but I'm pretty confident y'all can get it.

Is it in the Mt. Wilson area? Maybe the Gabrieleno on the north side?

Post by **Uncle Rico** » Mon Aug 17, 2020 9:44 am

A bit north-northeast of Wilson.

Post by **HikeUp** » Mon Aug 17, 2020 10:38 am

Rim Trail (11W28)?

Post by **Uncle Rico** » Mon Aug 17, 2020 11:17 am

Further north.

My "bits' are bigger than yours. ?

Post by **Sean** » Mon Aug 17, 2020 11:18 am

Devil's Canyon Trail looking southish.

Post by **Uncle Rico** » Mon Aug 17, 2020 11:47 am

Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

You up.

Post by **Sean** » Mon Aug 17, 2020 12:33 pm

This is in the San Gabriel foothills from 2012.
