Below is a list of links to new and updated pages between April and the end of June 2017. I’ve found the changes regarding recording the hikes I do to be manageable and I anticipate being able to continue to create or update a page for each hike I do which provides a track map and a route description (at a minimum) for the foreseeable future. That said, I continue to deal with unexpected off trail distractions, but, hope to get started writing posts for the peaks in my 12 peak challenge soon.

My favorite hike in Angeles National Forest this quarter was a tie with hikes #28 and #29. Those hikes were done consecutively exploring the hike’rs trails that connect Angeles Crest mile marker 54.10 to roughly the center of the West Ridge of Mt. Waterman, On the first day I followed the west ridge to Mt. Waterman. On the second day, I followed the west ridge back down to the south Mt. Waterman Trail near Three Points. This photo is of my favorite of the numerous rock outcrops along the west ridge.

Clicking on links below will open the page in a new tab so that it will be easier to follow links on those pages and still get back to this one.
