10/23/2005 Mt Wilson - Little Santa Anita Canyon - San Gabriel Mountains - Pasadena California
Mount Wilson trail was constructed in 1864 as the route of the Annual Mt Wilson Trail race - held first in 1908 and won by Joseph B. King. Go Virtual Hike with us from 970ft elevation - up to 5650ft elevation in 7 miles - and back down again (14 miles round trip) - and why not... it was still daylight! (photos by Nunya)

10/22/2005 Devil's Punchbowl - Angeles National Forest -
San Gabriel Mountains - Pearblossom California
Devil's Chair and Devils Punchbowl are two distinctly different hikes in the same area. Go Virtual Hike with us as we did Devils Chair first as an in-&-out hike, 6+ miles est 1000ft elevation change. For scenic views, it was hard to get a bad photo! Devils Punchbowl is a mile loop
down in a canyon of lava rock. (photos by Nunya)

10/16/2005 Mt Baden-Powell via Vincent Gulch Divide - Angeles National Forest
San Gabriel Mountains - Wrightwood California
This was the BEST hike for fun during my whole California stay. A little slice of heaven. Out of 15 hikers, only 4 would make it to the top - and I was the second of those 4. Thank you Mitch for not giving up on me when you knew I wanted to go on - it was a BLAST!....okay actually a blizzard, but it was fun as hell! Only 4 miles up to 9400ft elevation - just under a 3000ft gain. The temps got down to the teens at the top, and my water froze in the tube - but putting it down my top thawed it right out. I never got cold - and kinda glad we missed that bear! (photos by Nunya)

BEHIND THE SCENES ... Many areas you hike have group size limits , which you need to be aware of. All groups shown in the Virtual albums may appear to hike together, when in fact they do not. *sorry, photographer editing illusion* Groups are broken down into Fast-Medium-and-Slower hikers, with designated regrouping points along the way for safety purposes. Educate yourself on the rules directly with the US Forest Service and National Park Service. Don't assume - Get the facts first.
