Started out on the Bell View Trail at about 5AM. The trail was okay but rocky. We saw a few signs at the start. Then after a while we reached a trail junction with an innaccurate trail sign. We turned right. Then we ascended a not so steep hill until we saw a small pond. Then we reached the main trail again. Then we proceeded to summit Small Peak. Small Peak had cool views of the valley floor (OC, SD, and LA counties). Small Peak also had a flag pole and 2 registers and a benchmark that was stolen. Then we proceeded on the Bell View Trail for a long while until we reached Rocky Mountain. The hike to Rocky Mountain was relatively uneventful. I forgot to mention this that we were hiking with this club called the VHC (Vietnamese Hiking Community). Then when we reached Rocky Mountain there were beautiful views of the valley and the Santa Anas. The summit of Rocky Mountain felt more like New York's Catskills or the Appullashons. Then we climber more to the foot of Flat Jack Peak. We bypassed Flat Jack Peak and continued around Flat Jack Peak until we decided to bag it a few minutes afterward. Then we reached Burnt Meadow. The meadow's look is self-explanetory. Then we reached a small campsite. Then we passed a peak I therorized that had been blown up by bombs. Then we summited Twitter Peak. Twitter Peak had almost no views because of the blocking trees. The summit of Twitter Peak also had a witness post on the top of it. The views were better from Twitter Meadow. Then we descended and reached Facebook Bald (Peak 4066 ft). The summit of Facebook Bald had some assorted rocks and some decent views down into the valley. Then we reached a forest with some blowed down trees. Then we saw a bigcone douglas fir grove. TAfter that the trailgot severely overgrown. Then after swimming and crawling under heavy brush and poodle dog bush (I still have the itch in my groin region) we reached the Los Pinos Trail. Then we asended Los Pinos Peak. The peak had some super awesome and jawbreaking views, a summit sign, a summit register, and 2 benchmarks.
