After a stressful day at work, I needed a relaxing afternoon hike to reinvigorate myself. I had off the next day, so I decided to head to the mountains. This is my 2nd climb of Hillyer, but decided on the much shorter (and easier!!) N.E. approach from Rosenita Saddle off Santa Clara Divide Road. It starts the hike already at about 5,880' elev. I was at the ridge high point at about a mile or so (Point 6,200'+). Just like the last time, the actual high point was challenging to find, but it is near the trail's high point. After that, I wanted to hunt for the Sierra Club register on Point 6,162', the "official" summit, and that is also quite a challenge to find! Heading back, I passed a use trail, one I've done my last climb that leads to some boulders, but no summit register. I then found another use trail farther back down on my way back. It starts out faint, then quickly becomes well-defined, and is joined by another use trail that meets up from the Mt. Hillyer trail farther down that I missed on the way up. I headed southeast for a short while, seeing a ribbon or two tied on the trees. I saw a small rock outcrop, passed it, and found a larger one shortly farther. I did not see any register, so I returned to the first outcrop and found a summit register!! It looked like it was not quite on the highest portion of the area, but there it was!! I signed it and returned back to the Hillyer Trail and back to Rosenita! I finally found the register on my 2nd try!! After the hike, I drove to Eagles Roost Picnic Area near Islip Saddle and did a quick hike up Peaks 6880 and 6920 to round off a nice afternoon/evening in the Angeles!
