"It's wild blueberry season, so it was time for a visit to this small peak. Tons of blues on the summit, which is essentially just a big berry barren. A lot of wild blackberries and raspberries along the trail in. Great family hike." — mikewilliamsjr • Aug 9, 2020

"Approached via Bald Mountain Pass on the trail to Notch Lake. Hiked to near the saddle with Bald Mountain and ascended the Southeast Ridge finishing on the South Face. Two hours from Bald Mountain Pass to the Summit." — mark.r.johnston • Aug 8, 2020

"The end of 18 days on the JMT. Spent the night at Guitar Lake, out of camp by 4 and Trail Crest around sunrise. Hit the top just as it was starting to warm up. Unforgettable, once in a lifetime trip. " — Christopher • Aug 8, 2020

"The Johnson cohort of Troop 128 headed up to the Angeles National Forest for a 6.2 mile hike to summit Mt. Hillyer. The boys worked on their High Adventure award and we were able to bag another peak. Weather was good and not too crowded. Onward and upward!" — mattjohnson • Aug 8, 2020

"Summited from the Middle Fork of Lytle Creek Trail Head. Had originally planned to go up one of the shorter routes, but parking near Icehouse Canyon was an absolute zoo at 0700 - way too many people for our taste! So, we drove back around to Lytle Creek instead, which meant we lost a good bit of our early morning start and had to climb through the heat of the day. However, this hike afforded the peaceful wilderness experience we desired, only encountering 6 other hikers between Third Stream Crossing and Icehouse Saddle. Since we were now completing the final push to the summit later in the day, the climb was hot but again, much of the crowd summiting from the other trailheads had already dissipated and we had plenty of room at the top to savor the views. We had fairly easily conquered Mt. San Bernardino the weekend prior, which is almost as much ascent and mileage, but this hike really kicked our butts - maybe the less maintained/improved trail took more of a toll?" — Sierrawildflower • Aug 8, 2020
