"I started out at around 11 AM at the Chruch of the Open Door. Then I climbed through the hills up many switchbacks through the fog to get to the summit of Azusa Peak. These switchbacks sometimes had a bench on them and I stopped often to admire the engineering of this trail and the good views down into the city. Then once I reached the motorway, I climbed Azusa Peak and the summit had great views, a cross, and 2 benches. Then I went back down from the peak and then slowly made the climb up to Peak 2596 ft passing through meadows and poison ivy choked slopes .The summit of Peak 2596 was clouded over and had 3 survey benchmarks. Then I went down to Glendora Ridge Motorway and passed by clouded over viewpoints and Knobcone pines. I turned around after a while because I got bored of clouded over scenery.

"Capping off my local peak revisits weekend, I hiked Glendora Ridge Rd. The hike had me crossing over Peak 2675 and Peak 2596. The turnaround point was Azusa Peak. Great ridge hike with many spring flowers along the way. Good views into Azusa Canyon as well." — MikeTeeples • May 1, 2022

"Keeping it local this weekend, while still avoiding the crowds, I considered Azusa Peak. I had been there 4 times before by taking the Garcia Trail. Unfortunately, the Garcia Trail has been closed for over a decade. In doing research, I learned that I could get there via Glendora Ridge Road. I put the research to the test by driving up Glendora Mountain Road. Glendora Ridge is blocked by a vehicle gate, where I began the hike. The clear dirt road (not at all overgrown), rides the ridge and passes other roadside peaks before descending to Azusa Peak. It was odd to me to descend to Azusa Peak, since the other 4 times was a scramble up the hillside. After my usual summit photographs, I headed back up the road. This time I concentrated on visiting Peak 2596, Peak 2675, and Peak 2583. Each was more conveniently visited when going West to East instead of the other way around. I had a great morning hike, which concluded at exactly noon time when I returned to the parking area." — MikeTeeples • Mar 21, 2020
