San Gabriel Peak

Posted on March 10, 2012 by Kyle Kuns

This gallery contains 12 photos.

This hike is one of my favorites largely because it reaches the highest peak in the Angeles Forest front country area south of Angeles Crest Highway.  The views are spectacular in all directions and the peak itself is only the … Continue reading →

Hike: Inspiration Peak Trail

Since so many hikers already know how to hike to Inspiration Point, I decided to post this trail segment in advance of putting together a complete hike detailing how to get to it–which is forthcoming.  This short one mile trail … Continue reading →

Hike: Eaton Saddle to Mt. Markham

Gallery

Posted on February 28, 2012 by Kyle Kuns

This gallery contains 15 photos.

The difference between this hike and the last one is that it goes to Mt. Markham instead of Mt. Lowe.  I’ve hiked past Mt. Markham a number of times and never took the trail to the summit because there was … Continue reading →

From 2-9-2022. Given the warm temperatures last week, I decided to do some easy boulder hopping of the #arroyoseco through part of #royalgorge in #angelesnationalforest #sangabrielmountains for a large portion of my hike. Being in the water combined with shade often created by the walls of the gorge kept me cool. Most of the way it was easy to stay under a foot deep in the water. I reached a few small pools of around 3 feet of depth to wade through. I didn't have time to make it to the falls, so I can't report on conditions that far upstream. Some minor stretches getting through/around branches while in water are required.
From 1-28-2022. I hiked along the #idlehourtrail (from Mt. Wilson Road) for the first time in a while. It was nice to see a new bear box and some new picnic tables at #idlehourtrailcamp. Plenty of water in the stream at the camp as well in #angelesnationalforest #sangabrielmountains
From 1-25-2022. A nice cool day made for a good time to take in a mostly exposed hike along the #oakspringstrail in #angelesnationalforest #sangabrielmountains
From 1-14-2022. Great to hike through #millardcanyon with a nice amount of water flowing and creating little falls and pools along the way to Dawn Mine in #angelesnationalforest #sangabrielmountains
From 1-7-2022. The trail between Switzer Falls and the mouth of Bear Canyon along the #arroyoseco is one of my favorite places to be in #angelesnationalforest This is especially true at times like these when enough water runs through the gorge to form mini-falls and pools along with the sounds that go along with that. #sangabrielmountains
