Hi Dave, fun hiking with you, too. Hey, I don't think it was me talking about Yosemite, but I was going on about trips in the Sierra, if ya need any info,...
Just got back from a dayhike on Vivian Creek Trail to the summit. The snow is almost completely gone from the trail -- it was probably 100 degrees in the...
i am getting inexplicably nervous about going solo, so i'm testing the water to see if anybody here is interested in a Thursday-Sunday trip next weekend (June...
Myself, some former WTC students and instructors drove up to the sierras just south of Mammoth and climbed Bloody Mountain this past weekend. Saturday we...
Hi, I want to invite you to join Ray, Gary and Alison for the southernmost central Sierra section of the PCT. We are a group of 40 - 50 year olds that are...
You might want to do some research on the snow conditions. I plan on leaving about a week before you and from what I am hearing there is still plenty of snow...
... You really think so? I've done Whitney twice and San Gorgonio seven or eight times -- mostly via Vivian Creek. I've always felt that San Gorgonio is just a...
I haven't had the opportunity in a couple of months to get a good hike in, so a week off of work gave me the opportunity. I have wanted to take the xcountry...
does anybody know about access/exit points into/out of the Santa Anas from either Weir Canyon Wilderness Park or up Coal Canyon (off the 91)? I'm looking to...
Well, Whitney has about 900 feet more gain and 6 more miles round trip. Plus it has major altitude. It's always interesting how people perceive trails...
David and I don't get down to Southern CA that often, so we managed to cram in a lot of places over 9 days over Memorial Day weekend. We tried to hit some...
Duane got me wondering about the Southern Sierra snow conditions, so I called Mt. Whitney Ranger Stattion today and they echoed what I have heard about the...
oops. maybe i shouldn't be allowed out on a trail. :) i need info on the northern end, NOT the southern. thanks again if anybody can tell me anything. ...
True, Whitney has more gain, but it's a more gradual gain. I think the first part of Vivian Creek, where it's really step, make the hike a little more ...
After a day recovery, I continued with my week hike-a-thon. I hit the Frazier Park area and a couple of rarely done peaks. All of these peaks are off Lockwood...
Hey, I just wanted to wish you luck with that. I just spend a few months on the bench due to IT band syndrome, it sucks. I just did San Jac last week and I...
On March 13, 1974 at 8:28 p.m. on a moonless night, Sierra Pacific Airlines Flight 802 crashed in the foothills of the White Mountains at 6,100' level just...
Thanks. I'm sure it won't take me long to get back up to speed. My main concern right now is to work off this gut that I've developed over the past few months....
We took the Forsee Creek Trail to Trail Fork and then on to Anderson and San Bernardio East Peaks yesterday. Not much snow left. The wildflowers are...
I just got back from a trip over Cottonwood Pass. Ray, the description you posted is accurate. There is a snow drift about 30 feet long just before the pass,...
I'm interested in hiking up White Mountian Peak on the 24th and 25th of this month. I'm planning on driving up early Saturday morning to the Bancroft gate,...
Hi Darrell! I have that weekend open and would not mind a quick run up the peak. What do you think my share of expenses would be? I'm in Riverside, and not...
I'm estimating that the total cost of gas will be about $100 split by however many people go. I rented a 4x4 truck for the weekend, but that is no charge. I...
Hi Darrell! Count me in. Please send the details to my personal email address; sierrasteve1@... Best Wishes Steve [Non-text portions of this message...
Just wondering if anyone has been up there this season and what the condition of the trail is... I anticipate heading up either this weekend or next for a...
I went up to Ontario the end of May via Icehouse Canyon. I added on Bighorn and Timber while I was up there. You're right, crampons etc. were not required....
Greetings Folks! Last Saturday my friend Dach and I took what we thought would be a relatively casual hike up Ice House Canyon to the saddle, and then on to...
I have decided to spend the 4th of July weekend in the White Moutains and visit my frinds the Marmots. I usually make an annual trip to this location but had...
