***Due to the recent surge with Covid-Omicron, only those who are fully vaccinated and boosted will be moved to the going list.
Thanks for your understanding.***
This is a good time to re-vist some peaks in the San Gabriel mountains. The weather forecast for next week will be partly cloudy skies and sunny with a high of 71-degrees.
We will bag all three peaks and not necesarily in the order listed below.
You must be comfortable with Class 2 rock scrambling especially when climbing up to Mt. Markham. Poles and gloves may be helpful on some sections leading up to the summit.
We will be moving at a comfortable pace and will not leave anyone behind. However, if you feel you cannot complete all three peaks then I can lead you back to the trailhead as long as you let me know your plans.
Mt. Markham 5742′
Mt. Lowe 5603′
San Gabriel Peak 6161′
