The Johnson cohort of Troop 128 successfully climbed 4 peaks in the Angeles National Forest. First was Peak 7243 (unnamed) after a short hike off the Mt. Waterman trail. Then on to Waterman Mountain Benchmark. Shortly after, we made it to the summit of "Lady" Waterman Mountain (read John W. Robinson's "Trails of the Angeles" hike guide for more info). We were unable to find the register and headed to the top of Waterman Mountain North. Then, we continued our trek down through the ski resort (which boasts a disc golf course), arriving back at the car. In all, 7 miles of hiking with nearly 1500 feet of elevation gain. Unfortunately, my AllTrails app crashed during the hike, resulting in an inaccurate hike summary. It was nice to be up in the mountains and enjoying the cool, fresh air in a hot day in Southern California.
