Mt Baden-Powell to Islip Saddle NOT!

So I arrived at Islip Saddle at the appointed hour of 6:30am

The wind was strong, the temps where low

3 PCT thru hikers came down from Little Jimmy, they where heading for Sulfur Springs

After Claudia arrived we decided to nix the 12 mile trip and just make a quick dash up Mt Baden-Powell

On the way over there looking down in to the clear and warm High Desert I got a (rare) brain storm!

Devils Chair! Hey! I've never hiked to Devils Chair

I didn't have to twist her arm and the dogs didn't care either

It was nice down there though a bit windy got some snow showers too....

Here are the photos...

The Devils Chair is a nice hike. We did it in 2005 from the Devils Punchbowl County Park. Unfortunately, it is more driving than hiking from Orange County.
