Peak 7243 ft

"The Johnson cohort of Troop 128 successfully climbed 4 peaks in the Angeles National Forest. First was Peak 7243 (unnamed) after a short hike off the Mt. Waterman trail. Then on to Waterman Mountain Benchmark. Shortly after, we made it to the summit of "Lady" Waterman Mountain (read John W. Robinson's "Trails of the Angeles" hike guide for more info). We were unable to find the register and headed to the top of Waterman Mountain North. Then, we continued our trek down through the ski resort (which boasts a disc golf course), arriving back at the car. In all, 7 miles of hiking with nearly 1500 feet of elevation gain. Unfortunately, my AllTrails app crashed during the hike, resulting in an inaccurate hike summary. It was nice to be up in the mountains and enjoying the cool, fresh air in a hot day in Southern California." — mattjohnson • Aug 22, 2020

"Climbed this one when I was targeting Peak 7190. I took the not so obvious trail from across the road from the Buckhorn Campground exit. This trail connects with an old dirt road (probably a service road to the old ski resorts). I followed the road west toward Mount Waterman when I failed to look for a use trail going up Peak 7190. Eventually, I went up a gully and did a cross country climb to a high point, which turned out to be Peak 7243. Boulders mark the high point. Below the boulders is some sort of wooden marker lying on its side. From there, I could clearly see the peak that I missed, Peak 7190 toward the east. That became my next destination before returning back to the car." — MikeTeeples • Jun 30, 2019
