"Eaton Saddle to Mt. Lowe trail up Mount Lowe is a very easy hike, very smooth inclines, excellent views of surrounding San Gabriels and Los Angeles. Popular trail. The trail up to Mount Markham is less tread (somewhat overgrown in places, and some class 2 patches)." — etmiller • Oct 3, 2026

"A fun section of the PCT, the Angeles crest road is closed at Vincent's Gulch. Saw a thru hiker when I pulled into the lot at 6a, we waved at each other and he disappeared onto the trail. I was not able to get a view of Los Angeles as it was covered in low clouds. " — MikeERodriguez • Sep 24, 2026

"9/12/26 Went up Mt Baldy and West Baldy via Ski hut route then headed toward Mount Harwood! - We missed the steep Baldy Bowl trail to go down so ended up taking the ski lift down to the street! It was a fun day with Pam and her son (Greg)." — diane • Sep 12, 2026

"Great day hike, paved road on the ascent makes for a very pleasant morning hike and descent on the trail provides great views. No trail to Mt. Deception, have to follow natural ridgeline, but well worth the effort." — etmiller • Sep 12, 2026

"Went up from Three Points. Don't take the lower trail to go up, it's long, and after the first burn area, trail conditions go to crap. trail disappears in overgrowth multiple times and entirely blocked by fallen trees at others. gets rockier after that point as well. scenery wise, an incredible hike. views are expansive and change throughout as you move to different areas. consistently good views of twin peaks for most of the hike as well.
