JACKSON LAKE LOOP – A 7.6 MILE 1500′ GAIN HIKE

BEFORE YOU WILL BE MOVED TO THE GOING LIST, YOU WILL NEED TO UPDATE YOUR CDH PROFILE (The three questions must be answered with a “yes”) IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE SO.
NEED HELP:
[[go to: https://wp.me/P9MbG4-hC](go to: https://wp.me/P9MbG4-hC)](http://[go%20to:%20https//wp.me/P9MbG4-hC%5D(go%20to:%20https://wp.me/P9MbG4-hC))

The route has single and wide track trails. The views along the way are spectacular. Starting from Jackson Lake, we’ll accomplish this by taking the Blue Ridge above Jackson Lake via an 7.6 mile loop with an overall gain of 1500′ along the way.

The Jackson Lake Trail is a high-quality singletrack snaking through the woods on the northern slope of the San Gabriel Mountains. Some of the most beautiful forest in the range can be seen along the trail, including huge ponderosa pine, jeffrey pine, white fir, live oak, black oak, big-leaf maple, alder, and willow. The black oak and big-leaf maple turn brilliant reds and yellows in the fall, providing a photographers’ feast that includes tremendous views across the southwestern Mojave Desert.
West Blue Ridge provides stunning views down the East Fork San Gabriel River and across to 10,064′ Mount Baldy

Drivers parking at Jackson Lake will need an ADVENTURE PASS.

No beginners please unless you’re in top physical condition. If you have some place to be later in the day, this event will not work for you.

We will be setting a steady pace with several breaks while staying together all the way so as not to lose anyone.

DAY’S AGENDA and some of the features

START: Once we all arrive at Jackson Lake around 7:30 a.m., we’ll begin our trek to the RIDGE.

THE RIDGE: BLUE RIDGE (around 7500′) offers awesome views into the depths of the east fork of the San Gabriel River and high mountain country as we make our way along THE TRAIL.

THE TRAIL: The PACIFIC CREST TRAIL is probably the most well known of all the trails on the west coast. We’ll be hiking a small portion of this trail before ditching the trail for another trail taking us back down to Jackson Lake where we’ll end this adventure.

MEETUP LOCATION AND TIME: Jackson Lake parking lot at 7:30am.
