"8 hour, 15 mile hike from Crystal Lake to Baden-Powell, tagging a few other peaks on the way. Snow is rapidly melting and can be mostly avoided by staying on the ridge, West of the trail. " — danishclimber • Jun 4, 2023

"I hiked Baden-Powell, Throop, and Burnham on the same day. Started at 4 in the morning, it was freezing up at Vicent Gap, as it was about 29 degrees outside. Ended at 1 pm and it was comfortable but hot as we still got our layers on. Photos were very cool at night, especially the Vincent Gap sign. " — lcnguyen • Oct 12, 2021

"Went on down the PCT after summiting Baden-Powell, and decided to take the side trail up to Mount Burnham as well on this beautiful day. Much less crowded here than along the Baden-Powell ascent from Vincent Gap parking area. Grabbed a few geocaching along the way as well." — Sierrawildflower • Jul 25, 2020

"Peak #7 of round two of the 2020 SoCal Six (18) Pack of Peaks Challenge took me back to Mount Baden-Powell by way of Vincent Gap and just a a few additional peaks. Peak 8426, 8600, Mount Hawkins, Throop Peak, and Mount Burnham. From the summit o Baden-Powell we descended via Vincent Gap to complete our point to point hike." — Philip-Yoho • Jun 26, 2020

"June 13, 2020. Hiked Mount Islip, Mount Hawkins, and Baden-Powell, and bagged Mount Burnham on the way back. I as watching AllTrails for the supposed turn off to get Throop Peak, but I don’t think that turn off actually exists anymore. Looks like the turn off is earlier on the Baden-Powell end. I’ll just have to go back and bag that one, too. Perfect weather and there was a flag and new peak sign up at Baden-Powell. " — runningvegan • Jun 13, 2020

"This time I elected to hike Baden Powell from Dawson Saddle as opposed to the “normal” trailhead to avoid the 1,001 switchbacks (not a fan!). It's approximately the same distance, but this way takes you by Throop Peak and Mt Burnham. And there's the occasional views of Los Angeles and the Inland Empire, and very few switchbacks! Temps were on the warm-ish side but not bad given there's plenty of shade for most of the hike. Good thing too, as I a) forgot my hat, and b) discovered at the trailhead my sunblock was missing out of my pack. I'll pay for it in the coming days… Oh and the glider swooping around the summit of Baden-Powell was a nice addition to the scenery. We then retraced our steps, but snagged Burnham and Throop to complete this 3-peak day." — marc • Aug 25, 2019

"A 3-Peaker day today. Leaving from Dawson Saddle, climbed past Throop to summit Mt Burnham first (then over to Mt Hawkins then finishing with Throop). The PCT that connects the 3 is super-easy to follow, but the trail from PCT to the Burnham summit can barely be called a trail... just aim for the highest point and climb." — marc • Jul 22, 2018

"After seeing it from many different peaks, I finally made the trip to Burnham on 9/24/17. On the ridge along which lies Burnham, I have visited Throop Peak 3x (the last time just before going to Burnham), and Baden-Powell 2x (the last peak I visited after Burnham). Burnham on this day was the 2nd of 4 peaks I visited on this moderately challenging 9 mile round-trip hike from Dawson Saddle. I first went to Throop, then to Burnham, then to Unnamed Peak 9,100' (between Burnham and Baden-Powell), and to Baden-Powell. The weather was crisp and awesome, and along the way, I could see all the way to the Southern Sierra Nevada (Owens Peak Wilderness Area in Kern County). The view on Burnham proper was hemmed in partially by trees, but for me, the trees are a great view themselves. The hike is moderately strenuous, but not too overly tough. I hiked up Dawson Saddle Trail to Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), and after visiting Throop, I headed east, down a few hundered feet on the PCT, then up again to a small use trail up the west flank to summit Burnham. There is no summit marker nor register that I could find. After resting a bit, I hiked down the east flank on another use trail back to..." — brianpowell • Sep 24, 2017

"This was a four-peak day, starting at Dawson Saddle and ending at Vincent Gap. We hit Throop, Burnham and Baden-Powell and then headed down to Ross. Back up to Baden-Powell then down to the car shuttle we set up at Vincent Gap. Two of these peaks (Burnham and Ross) were new to me. This was an HPS hike led by the Doggetts. There were a lot of folks in the morning at Vincent Gap, and even a couple of horses, but we didn't really run into many folks on the trails. We did pass a few PCT through hikers. Ross was Jim Kidder's 100th HPS peak! It was a good day to do Ross--fairly cool, a good bit of cloud cover--but as we headed back up toward Baden-Powell, storm clouds had started to roll in. There was a good deal of thunder, but no visible lightning, and an occasional sprinkle. That put a rush in our steps to get over the summit of Baden-Powell and down to a safer and lower area. Total mileage for the day was about 14.5 miles, with 4600 feet of gain." — HikerMark • Jun 6, 2015

"Last stop of the day. This summit register was also missing, even though I signed it a few months back. Someone is going through great lengths to remove all the registers in the San Gabriels." — Christopher • Sep 9, 2013
