EISPIRATEN

I did a solo hike up to Jones Peak yesterday morning and hiked from Bailey canyon. I had the trail all to myself. It was a beautiful day.
Peak summit with Mt. Wilson in the background.

Is this enough advertising for the fourm?
I re-did the sign with some more advertising. The old sign was faded.

Summit pose.

The Monastery.

Thanks for the report! I wonder when the bench was added at the peak.

It was placed there a few years ago.

Beautiful clear day! I went up to Jones my first time last week via Bastard. Very fun.

No more stickers for you.

I've hiked Bastard ridge many times then I discovered the normal route lol

The normal route up, followed by bastard ridge down is the best of both worlds!

About two years ago there was a guy who got attacked by two bears up there. He was backing away from the first one and noticed a second behind him. He got pretty F'd up but was able to make it back down and get to the hospital on his own. I think it happened above the cabin ruins.

Wow! that was a frightening story. I was all alone on that trail. Next time I will not go alone.
