"I approached Wright Mountain from Guffy Campground via the PCT. After about a quarter mile from the intersection of the Acorn Trail, an unnamed use trail veers left, leaving the PCT. The trail fades in and out, creating a bit of a cross country route to the summit. Not much of a view from the summit, but a lot of trees. From the summit, I headed south to connect with the PCT. Pine Mountain was the next mountain over, but will need to be attempted another day. Weather was nearly perfect in the high country, making the visit a memorable one, despite dealing with the occasional hunter creeping around in the forest." — MikeTeeples • Oct 28, 2017

"Unlike my first time, I did not hike all the way from Angeles Crest Highway. My friend and I hiked from Guffy Campground along Blue Ridge Truck Trail and then to the Pacific Crest Trail then to the use trail near a big landslide below to the peak. The use trail is often hard to follow, so we had to walk through some low chaparral and some cross-country to the summit under pines and firs. There is a stone pile and summit register at the peak. There used to be a metal post with a triangle on its top the last time I hiked it last year, but it is now gone. Getting back to PCT required some cross country as the use trail seems to vanish from time to time. Overall, it is a very easy, short hike from Guffy, as opposed to the long trek from Angeles Crest. I estimate that the mileage (I do not have a mileage tracker device!) was around 3-4 miles. We did not simple return back to the car after Wright Mountain; we went back to PCT and followed it and a use trail to a saddle and hiked Pine Mountain (9,648'), a much harder hike, and then we returned to Blue Ridge Road back to my car at Guffy. For Wright Mountain alone, the elevation gain was about 750, since there was some up and down ..." — brianpowell • Jun 10, 2017

"Hot. Had to hike from Guffy because Forest Service is all about locked gates these days. Smoke from Sand Fire wasn't bad at all at this point in the day. Had the whole mountain to myself." — edg • Jul 30, 2016

"Starting at Inspiration Point along Angeles Crest Hwy, this was the second summit of two I did on this day. I first followed stretches of both PCT and Blue Ridge Road to Blue Ridge's summit, took a break, then again following stretches of both PCT and Blue Ridge Rd, came up to a point where PCT intersects a narrow use trail near a sheer dropoff (Landslide area?) on the northwest side of the mountain. I followed the use trail through chaparral and sagebrush, and the trail seems to disappear at the edge of the forested summit plateau. I did a short cross-country walk, and after a little wandering, found the summit cairn with a triangle shaped sign at the actual high point. The are no drastic views on the forested summit. On the top are the beautiful, lush stand of large coniferous trees, which for a plant lover as myself, I enjoyed as much as I would have enjoyed a wide-ranging panorama of the mountains. I then walked cross country and ended up hiking the wrong way on PCT for a mile or so, and had to reverse course, and then followed stretches of PCT and Blue Ridge Rd. Tired from being a little out of shape and the extra wandering, I was able to hitch a ride near Blue Ridge C..." — brianpowell • Jun 18, 2016

"With Gobblers Knob. Trail was snow free except for at the top. Great views of the snowy Baldy area peaks. As always, the PCT was in excellent shape and was a pleasure to walk on." — klotito • Feb 28, 2016

"We went up and parked at the Blue Ridge gate, it was locked at Angeles Crest Hwy with a sign saying: "Due to the Federal Government shutdown this Area is Closed" We took a picture with the sign and our middle fingers up and kept on. We hiked through snow the majority of the way to Wright Mountain on the Pacific Crest Trail. It was a beautiful day with a surprising amount of early October snow on the North side of Mt. Baldy. We cross country hiked up the south western slope to the summit in the middle of lots of pine trees so the view from the summit was none existent however the views along the hike were fantastic!

"Sierra Club sponsored hike from Guffy CG(8,290'); hiked the Blue Ridge Road and PCT 1.6 miles 1-way, 600' gain to summit. Mars Bonfire led w/Dave Comerzan, great group to hike this traverse which included Pine Mtn and Dawson Peak near Mount Baldy." — BradStemm • Sep 6, 2013
