Hello Fellow Hikers,
Are you looking to get out and hit a challenging hike but don’t want to hit the popular peak hikes on the weekends? Yeah me neither. So join me on this less traveled but good distance with elevation gain hike. This trail starts off going up with switchbacks for the first 4 miles after that its a continuous climb to the top. Gorgeous views South over the whole valley and North of the Mountains. Then, about 5 miles in, you see Baldy, Claremont, Upland, Rancho and much further. But this will not be a walk in the park this is definitely gonna kick our butts when we’re done. But worth the views the challenge and the accomplishment. This is also an excellent training hike. Carpooling at our same meetup spot will be offered for anyone who wishes to carpool (Best donuts located 2325 Kuehner Dr # 127 Simi Valley off the 118 freeway at 5:30 am) I have attached the AllTrails link for directions, pics, and stats: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/san-dimas-canyon-to-sunset-peak-radio-towers
