Hiking with Dean

Echo Mountain Via Sam Merrill Trail
2020-12-05 14:00 - 17:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Cobb Estate Hike, 3302 Lake Ave, Altadena, CA, 91001, US
Come join me at a popular location for hiking in Altadena,Cobb Estate, Echo Mountain trail is a very popular hike and if you come or have been there before you’ll know why! There are ruins from an old hotel and dance hall and the Mount Lowe Railway.We will begin on time at 2pm so I suggest arriving at 1:30pm for parking.
There are some spectacular views at the top and remnants of times gone by. If you have never been there before you will want to plan for some explore time up top. I will probably only stay up there for about 15 minutes and then head down, but like I said it is worth exploring around there (and find out why it is called Echo Mountain) so no need to come down with me. If you do stay up longer you definitely will need a light.
Distance: 5.4 miles (for details look up this trail on Alltrails.com)Elevation Gain: 1417 ftDifficulty: Intermediate due to steepness and pace no one will wait for you if you are slower than the group pace. If you know the way and are slower you can join us or just come on your own and start earlier.Dogs: NoRestrooms: NoWater Fountain: NoParking: Free street parking may need to walk a bit from your park spot so allow time for this (arrive at 1:30pm is suggested).Trail: Out and back, can be slick and slippery, poles suggested for those that need them due to this (there have been hiker deaths on this trail) and wear appropriate hiking or trail shoes.Sunset: 4:45 pm bring light just to be safe, we will probably be finishedWeather: rain, wind or extreme heat will cancel this hike, rain and mud can make the trail especially dangerous so if we get a lot of rain between now and then I may cancel.
Known Dangers: Rattlesnakes, slip-‘n-fall, poison oak, can all happen on this trail, additionally if it is a warm day, bring extra water due to no shade and the steep climb.This place attracts a lot of people so if you are trying to social distance don’t say I did not warn you. There will be some narrow spots and people may want to pass you going either way if you are slower you need to let the runners or faster people pass you out of politeness and put on your mask if it looks like they care.
Bring: snack and a light layer as it may be cool at the topFlashlight/headlamp when it’s darkSunscreen and hat or sunglasses recommended since this hike has little shadeLOTS of H20 I recommend about 2 liters more if you sweat a lot.

Los Pinetos at Walker Ranch Trailhead
2020-12-22 13:00 - 17:00 | Walker Ranch Trailhead, 19798 Placerita Canyon Rd, Newhall, CA, 91321, US
Come and Join me on my Christmas Break for an afternoon Intermediate (2.5 to 3 miles per hour) hike near Placerita Canyon Nature Center.Los Pinetos is one of my favorite trails that was destroyed a few years ago by a fire but has since regrown and is ready for us.Just a note here: I have not hiked it since January 2020 after it was first reopened, but have hiked it many times before that and the trail was similar as before.
Distance: 7 milesElevation Gain: 1800′Difficulty: Intermediate due to pace, length and steepnessDogs: NoRestrooms: Maybe a pit toilet at trailheadWater Fountain: NoParking: Free on street, a little limited but up the road is a dirt lot about 1/4 of mile in case there is no room by the trailheadTrail: Out and backSunset: 4:50 bring a light just to be safeWeather: Unusual windy, rainy or heat will cancel the hike
Known Dangers: Rattlesnakes, slip-‘n-fall, poison oak, are all on this hike. There is an exposed steep hill at the beginning of the hike where you will overheat even on a cool day, it levels out after that into more shade and less steepness.
Bring: Make sure you wear proper hiking attire especially shoes and bring poles if you need them. An extra layer in case it gets chilly, sunscreen, hat sunglasses for the exposed areas, also a snack for your break at the top, light just to be safe!I suggest 2-3 liters of water, some of the exposed steep parts of the trail you will be glad you have more water.
Directions: Coming from the 5 freeway take 14 North get off at Placerita Canyon exit. Follow signs to the nature center but do no turn in there. Go past the nature center on Placerita Canyon a few miles then on the Right will be a trailhead, be careful as it is possible to drive right past it. If cars are parked near it then you will notice it.

Since Paul has decided to take take a break from hiking during the latest Covid outbreak, it doesn’t mean that we can’t be together in spirit. Please post a picture of you sporting your most ugliest, or favorite Christmas sweater.
PIC MUST INCLUDE YOU WEARING IT.
I really wish we could all be together again hiking our favorite trails with our beloved leader Paul.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Paul and all the CDH members for the fond memories. We had some pretty cool and crazy adventures and who can forget those death-defying challenges on steep ridges.
A special thanks to Paul for all that you do for us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking time to plan each and every event so thoughtfully. I am grateful for being a part of our CDH family.
Happy holidays and have a healthy & prosperous New year.
