We started late, and walked the last hour in pitch dark.  That's why there's no photos the last part of the hike.The steepest climb is in the very beginning, hiking up to the ridge at the tree of life. On the rigeline, there are still ups and downs, but nothing too bad.  We had a very leisurely hike, stopping often for photo ops. <br><img src="http://images.everytrail.com/pics/thumbnail/4682186-photo2.jpg"/> <img src="http://images.everytrail.com/pics/thumbnail/4682189-photo2.jpg"/> <img src="http://images.everytrail.com/pics/thumbnail/4682190-photo3.jpg"/> <img src="http://images.everytrail.com/pics/thumbnail/4682192-photo4.jpg"/> ]]></description><guid>http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=1659079</guid><link>http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=1659079</link><pubDate>Sat, 7 Jul 2012 01:07:49 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[N Arroyo Blvd]]></title><description><![CDATA[Very fun and easy to access.This is a rare trail for the San Gabriel Mountains in that it is not very steep.  It follows a stream, crossing it a few times. This trail was definitely more technically challenging than cardiovascularly challenging.  The terrain varies from paved to dirt fire road to dirt single track to gravel and sand, to head stones and sand and beyond.  I got wet crossing the stream, and had to dismount on a few tough spots.  All totally fun!  I had hoped to go further but turned around because it was getting dark.  My flashlights wouldn't cut it on the rough trail. I'll replace this track as I go further <br><img src="http://images.everytrail.com/pics/thumbnail/3669880-photo1.jpg"/> ]]></description><guid>http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=1354798</guid><link>http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=1354798</link><pubDate>Tue, 8 Nov 2011 20:16:32 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[La Tuna Canyon]]></title><description><![CDATA[This might be my favorite ride within an hour of me, including El Prieto.  Start off with 3 miles of uphill on a fire road, climbing 1400 ft or so.  I stopped a lot.  Then you ride the ridge top on a fire road.  It's slightly downhill, so coasting and fun.  Then, at the turnout with a chair, you drop into some really fun single track. It is pretty technical with some ups, but mostly downhill.  Sometimes really, really steep.  I'm not ashamed to say I have yet to do this trail without at least once hiking the bike.  The single track is moderately technical.  Then, you end up on La Tuna Canyon Rd about a mile from the parking lot.  The slight uphill isn't hard, but doesn't feel great after the fun, technical single track in a forest. <br>]]></description><guid>http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=895769</guid><link>http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=895769</link><pubDate>Sat, 27 Nov 2010 15:27:10 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dawn Mine]]></title><description><![CDATA[This is one of my favorite close to LA hikes.  I got the idea from localhikes.com and THIS person's everytrail trip.  I would say this hike is a blue square in difficulty.  1500 ft assent in 2.75 straight miles, eroded single track trails, major bouldering, poison oak everywhere, and the temptation to explore a dangerous cave all add to the difficulty.  The trail starts on Ridge Fire Road, where it can get hot with the asphalt reflecting the sun.  Plan to be walking uphill for an hour straight.  At the dawn station &quot;Trolley stop&quot; where the covered wooden bench is, go left onto the dawn mine trail which becomes single track trails.  This is where the poison oak and eroded trails can be dangerous.  The trail drops into the valley, where the mine is.  Everyone agrees exploring old mines is dangerous and shouldn't be done.  I did find THIS map of the mine (with a upper entrance I didn't know existed) that someone else made. Can't vouch for the accuracy.  Inside the mine, it's cold, wet, and dangerous.  A 50 ft shaft going straight down is right by the lower entrance.  After leaving the mine entrance, you follow a very rough trail, criss crossing the creek/sluice box.  This is where you will be doing some major bouldering.  From there, you take a switchback to the left, up past a cabin, and back on a real trail (still single track) which takes you back to the trailhead.Adventure pass required to park.  Gate closes at 8pm.  For even more info, check out Dan's Hiking Page for the trip.  I'm not totally clear where, but some people have described a 50 ft waterfall on this trip.  Not in August.  I'd like to find it, though. <br><img src="http://images.everytrail.com/pics/thumbnail/101685-IMG_1490.jpg"/>

and when I saw this hike in the book, &quot;Backpacking California&quot;, I knew I had to try it.  The assent from Meeks Bay is much more gradual than from Eagle Falls and there are far fewer people on the Meeks Bay side of the trail.  Overnight backpacking permits must be obtained ahead of time, so contact the ranger's station for more info.  We thought you got them at the trail head with the day hiking permits and risked $5000 fine and six months in jail when we decided to do the hike anyway.  Totally not worth forgetting to get a permit.  We camped close to Upper Velma lake, 13 miles from the trailhead.  Unfortunately, the halfway point of the trip is Pipps Peak, which isn't a great place to camp (no water).  You'll either have a longer first or second day hiking.  Camping at Upper Velma was awesome.  Great swimming, good campsite, amazing scenery.  We didn't bring a tent, but the bugs were manageable with some spray.  Next time I will have a tent with me because of bugs and the fact that rain develops quickly here.Overall, a awesome overnighter which taught me some lessons (tents, permits) and inspired me to go on more backpacking trips.  <br><img

lake, but once we got into the woods, headed up the mountain, we didn't run into anybody else until the summit.  Some of the switchbacks are steep, and I became very tired.  Maybe it was the 10 mile kayaking trip I did that morning.  Anyway, the views are spectacular and I'm very glad to have done this hike.  I should note there is a road for cars to drive to the summit, which makes it crowded.

for the best trail info.  Like the casual hikers that we are, we left LA around noon, arrived to the trailhead in 45 minutes, and was walking by 1pm.  The parking lot was mostly empty (contrary to modernhiker.com)  Most of the trail is following creeks and under the cover of trees, so heat was not too bad, but I was feeling the slight humidity.  Bugs were present, so bring repellant if it bothers you.  I was really impressed by the cabins and in general the infrastructure in this area (i.e. emergency call boxes, erosion damns, rakes and water buckets for campers to use for fire safety).  The falls was cool.  Wish it was toward the end of the hike when I didn't mind getting wet.  I didn't understand the &quot;No Shortcutting&quot; signs next to the falls and did the shortcut thinking I was following the trail.  You are supposed to double back from the falls to pick up the trail.  Highlight of the trip was seeing bears!    We ran out of water, which was lame (bring lots!).  Otherwise, a great walk in the woods. <br><img src="http://images.everytrail.com/pics/thumbnail/94820-P1020695-01.jpg"/> <img src="http://images.everytrail.com/pics/thumbnail/94819-P1020700-01.jpg"/>

waterfalls.  There is a parking fee, and a very nominal fee to buy a map.  I forgot my wallet and relied on the generosity and niceness of others to help me get a bottle of water, a map, and parking.  Ooops.  Although I did the hike in just over 3 hours, you should schedule 5-6 hours to do this hike plus stops.  I raced the sunset.  Photo locations are approximate <br><img

 The trip travels on fire roads, forest service roads, and improved (paved) snow mobile trails from Northstar.  A 4-wheeled drive vehicle is highly recommended, but with the right attitude and a car you don't mind thrashing, any vehicle will do (respect the trails, though!!).  Mountain bikers frequent these trails as do dirt bikes.  So share the road and be respectful (be cool with dust clouds).Download my high quality, stitched panorama picture HERE (right-click, save as).  Creative Commons, non-commercial!  <br><img

for about a third of the entire hike.  We went straight up the mountain, instead of the gradual switchbacks.  The real trail is 2 miles longer each way.  Freel Peak is amazing.  The clouds soar by, more or less the same elevation as the summit.  The views in all directions are breathtaking. <br><img src="http://images.everytrail.com/pics/thumbnail/94969-P1000936.jpg"/> <img

was moderately strenuous, only because everyone in our group wanted it to be.  The only choppy water was at the very end of the point, the farthest north on the track.  The company we went through was Shearwater, who had a very friendly, helpful guide who was not only knowledgeable about the sea and kayaking, but about the local nature as well.  Sunsets rule!Apologies for the duplicate photos ...

bound to get some great people/boat watching in. On other trips, I have kayaked out of the marina, paddled North, and beached on Venice beaches.  CAUTION:  Open ocean is much more dangerous than the marina.  Surf launching is dangerous and difficult at times.  Have experience.Beach Launch is from &quot;Mother's Beach&quot;.  My tracks show me leaving from the North side of the beach, where I parked ($6).  I now recommend parking in the North West lot, entrance on Admiralty Way (still $6).  There are public bathrooms and a shower.  When no one's around, I wash my kayak off in the shower. <br>]]></description><guid>http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=33684</guid><link>http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=33684</link><pubDate>Wed, 30 Jul 2008 23:46:33 -0500</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
