Website: Official 52 Hike Challenge Website
I started on January 10, 2018. I altered the rules of the challenge to include only hikes in Angeles National Forest. In addition, the hikes need to be either new routes for me (marked “new” in the list below) or the hikes cover routes I haven’t done again since I started creating track maps in 2015 (marked “update” in the list below).
See my 2018 Hikes Page for route descriptions and maps for those hikes not included here.
