I'm interested in heading down in the sheephorn wilderness sometime in oct or nov. The map i have shows cabin flat, mine gulch, and several fish fork camps. I can't find much info on these on the NF webpage, and says cabin flat is closed. Are these open for backpacking, or I assume dispersed camping...

I would like to get in on this, either date works for me. I have all the gear just need to put it to use!

Absolutely love that trail, I've done it a few times now over the years. Just read your trip report on your site, amazed you said there was bear scat all over bear trap. I've never seen any there. Did you see the dead bear bones in the canyon past bear trap? Its been there for years now. My favorite...

Anyone interested in hiking from guffy, pine mountain, dawson to baldy this Saturday 5/10? I usually hike alone but can't find a partner for this weekend and reading trip reports for this route it sounds smart to not go alone. I was thinking about going up Friday afternoon and camping at guffy Frida...

Praying for snow and eager to try some mountaineering. I just got back from dry lake overnight not much snow up there either. I picked up a book mountaineering freedom of the hills to get me started till the snow!

I don't own crampons, I've ax or a helmet but I'll put them on my Xmas list. I don't know how to use then either but I have a general idea.

Is this open for beginners? I have no mountaineering experience and I'd like to learn safely and the right way

if this happens again this year, I am very interested! I've never done winter hiking or climbing and I want to learn!

Bean- Guffy is open and you can drive right up to it. The road is a little rough in places, but I made it in a Honda Civic. Both Guffy and Blue Ridge were full Saturday as best as I could tell. Thanks Rico. My friend and I are planning for Sunday. Where do you park the local hikes says parking is t...

Awesome! I hiked to west baldy sunday via bear creek, and was wondering about doing this hike while looking at my map and overlooking the mountains from up there! is the guffy campground open, is it a hike in only camp or can you drive up to it? I want to do this hike from guffy to mount baldy in th...

Congrats on your summit. I take it from your title that the first trip didn't go as well.. That's one way to put it. I did make it to the summit last year. But I got caught in the nastiest thunder-lightning-hail storm I ever experienced in my life. Not this year tho. Weather was perfect. Congrats. ...

Thanks for the info. Found this report of lots of poodle dog brush on the trail from iune

I completed the JMT on 7.22.13. intense thunderstorms the night before at guitar lake. left for the summit at 3:00am from guitar lake and was on top at 5:30am. was not the sunrise I was hoping for, still a little stormy and some snow. crazy! only stayed 2 minutes. https://eispiraten.com/images-archi...

I love it up there. I have done the genemarshall piedra blanca trail a handful of times. I've hike the reyes peak trail into haddock camp where it intersects, that is a wonderful hike and great views along the ridge. Shorro Grande is another hike up since the road is closed up to pine mountain / rey...

LOL can't believe you ran all that way, then again I can't believe i'm going to hike all that way!

Looks so awesome! how long did it take you to Mammoth?

I am gearing up to do the JMT, starting on July 2nd, never been to Yosemite and can't wait! I don't think I will have as much snow when I go.

I've visited Baldy numerous times, but this was my first outing from Mt. Baldy Village. Seeing as how the route was measured at a little over 6 miles, I had hoped to do it under 3.5 hours, but it took me at least 4.75 hours. I guess I underestimated the strain the steepness would have on my speed. ...

Went up Baden Powell today from islip saddle th, pretty much snow free except for a few small patches left.

thanks. I spoke with the ranger and the 2 is open from LA side to Islip Saddle TH, then closed to big pines as mentioned.

hey guys one more question, is route 2 angeles crest highway closed or open? i used to ride motorcycles up there and remberer it was closed a long time ago, then it reopened and you could go thru to wrightwood, and then it closed again (due to another landslide?) did it ever re-open?

I don't want to see any packages lol, but was thinking of doing this hike from islip saddle this sunday. should be clear by now right?

So we hiked up the bear creek trail to mt baldy and down the devils backbone. It was a great hike, really enjoyed the devils backbone trail and the views above the clouds were epic! we had a few brews and food at the baldy ski resturant and took the lift down. incredible view of baldy bowl and the c...

great thanks for all the info. going with some friends this time so I'll see what they want to do for the route, we will be starting around 6 for plenty of time to make it around.

I want to go this hike again this coming weekend but want to make it a loop. what are the options, go down the ski hut trail, or do the backbone trail to the resturant? if the backbone way it looks like a long hike down from there but can you take the ski lift? how many miles are we talking? thanks.

Hey Sean thanks again the trail did not disappoint was a good tuff hike. Started at 630 on the summit at 1030. Met a guy on the way up we thought we were gonna have the top to our selves then lots of others showed up from the other ways to the top. Great day, just a little snow near the top. https:/...

hey thanks!.. is this the trail from the village? the hard way..i like it haha!

Looking to get some elevation this weekend, ive only been doing mt wilson in the San Gs, whats good now with no snow and ice? ive wanted to do ice house canyon to the saddle to ontario or bighorn i think it is, don't have my map in fron of me now. looking for 15 miles RT plus lots of elevation! thanks

Hey, that's awesome. I really like that Chorro to Reyes route. And as for Horn Canyon, got enough rocks to go with your climb? Steep ones you've been picking. Builds strong bones and teeth. -Stillman i can't get enough of the area around Reyes since ive started hiking up there. heading to do the ge...
