"Started at Vincent Gap on the PCT South. When at the right moment, I left the PCT to summit Vincent Gap Peak. I continued on the PCT to reach Jackson Flat Group Camp. I went up the steps of the lookout rower to make the summit official. " — MikeTeeples • Jul 15, 2023

"I returned on this morning after a couple of days hiking in the Scodie Mountains and southernmost Sierra across Walker Pass to round off my vacation on a couple of tiny hikes in one of my favorite haunts: the San Gabriels. I wanted to make a loop out of this hike, so I started up Lightning Ridge Nature Trail at Inspiration Point Vista Area at Angeles Crest Hwy. The Lightning Ridge Nature Trail branches off to the right from the Pacific Crest Trail at the TH and then rejoins the Pacific Crest Trail up on the ridge. When I took the nature trail, there is so much destruction from winter storms that it made some of the nature trail nearly impassible, and there was still considerable amounts of snow as well, but I managed to push and squeeze through it, rejoined the PCT on the ridge and about 40' ahead, took the small use trail that ascends to the peak which has a wonderful view towards the East Fork San Gabriel River canyon and ocean, and to the southern High Sierra, Telescope Peak and maybe even Mt. Charleston near Vegas! I rejoined the PCT and followed it back to the Inspiration Point Vista Area. Right after, I crossed the hwy and went up to Peak 7547 via a small dirt road lead..." — brianpowell • Apr 6, 2019

"Took the paved road west from Grassy Hollow toward Jackson Flat. When the PCT intersected the road, I continued on the PCT going west. In about 1.25 miles, a distinctive trail leaves the PCT to the left. This trail climbs the rest of the way to the summit. On top is an unusual structure, not sure of what its purpose is, other than to mark the summit. Just to the west is the Jackson Flat Group Camp. I walked through it and found a trail that led back to the PCT. I then followed the PCT all the way back to Grassy Hollow." — MikeTeeples • Oct 27, 2018
