It was crazy last 8 days for me. Spent lot of hours in high country hiking San Gabriel Mountains. In all did 6 peaks ranging from 1,625 ft to 8,985 ft. It all started with strenuous hike last Sunday with Triple T hikes and ended with somewhat easier hike to Sturtevant Falls. Here are some details about my last 8 days of hikes:
|
Sunday: Aug 2, 2009: Sturtevant Falls Hike Leisurely hike with plenty of shade, streams and ponds. The Winter
Creek Loop is a 5-mile hike, ascending to Hoegee's Camp along the Lower
Winter Creek Trail, and then descending along the Upper Winter Creek
Trail. At the beginning of the hike, we added a 2-mile extension along
shady Santa Anita Creek to Sturtevant Falls |

Saturday: Aug 1, 2009: Ontario Peak Icehouse Canyon trail up to the saddle and continuing on to Ontario
peak. Did chapman trail on the return path (vis saddle) adding
additional 1.7 miles. |

| Wednesday: July 29, 2009: Echo Mountain Elevation: 3,207 feet Distance (Round-trip): 5 miles Gain: 1400 feet Round-trip Time: 2 hours Pictures: Here |
|
| Tuesday: July 28, 2009: Mt. Hollywood Elevation: 1,625 feet Distance (Round-trip): 7 miles Gain: 1400 feet Round-trip Time: 2 hours |

Sunday: July 26, 2009: Timber, Telegraph and Thunder Peaks Strenuous, 10-mile hike with an elevation gain of 3,400 feet, at
altitudes above 7,000 feet most of the way, and three summits rising
over 8,000 feet. From Telegraph Peak (8,985 feet) the view rivals the
one from Mt. Baldy, which itself is part of the scenery once we climb
out of Icehouse Canyon. |
