SUMMARY:BURNHAM\, THROOP AND HAWKINS - The quest continues
DESCRIPTION: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.\nNEED HELP:\n[go to: https://wp.me/P9MbG4-hC](go to: https:/ \nTHE QUEST: My pursuit of taking on Mount Baden Powell the hard way\, via The Big Horn Mine on my 75th birthday\, continues as I get my self in shape by taking on Mount Burnham\, Throop Peak and Mount Hawkins this week. \nJoin me and experience the thrill of hiking in the high country of the San Gabriel Mountains. We’ll be taking on Mount Burnham\, Throop Peak and Mount Hawkins via Dawson Saddle and finishing at Windy Gap. This trek is only 7.5 miles with a 2200′ overall gain consisting mostly of the PCT (Pacific Crest Trail). This will be accomplished by way of a car shuttle.\nThis all day trek is for those of you who are looking for something a lot more challenging than the average outing. 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. \nWe will be setting a steady pace with several breaks while staying together all the way so as not to lose anyone. \nMICRO SPIKES AND POLES ARE RECOMMENDED \nDAY’S AGENDA \nSTART: After dropping a car/s off at The Windy Gap Trailhead we’ll drive to the Dawson trailhead where the trek begins to Mount Burnham. \nMOUNT BURNHAM: Standing at 8900′\, Mount Burnham is one of the highest peaks in the San Gabriel Mountains. It is in the Sheep Mountain Wilderness. It is named for Frederick Russell Burnham the famous American military scout who taught Scoutcraft to Robert Baden-Powell and became one of the inspirations for the founding of the Boy Scouts. From there we’ll double back towards Windy Gap\, picking up Throop Peak. \nTHROOP PEAK: Standing at 9118′\, Throop Peak was named for Amos G. Throop founder of Caltech formerly called Throop College. The peak marks the northwestern boundary of the Sheep Mountain Wilderness. Having bagged two peaks\, we’ll then take on a third\, Mount Hawkins. \nMOUNT HAWKINS: Standing at 8783′\, Mount Hawkins will be our final peak to conquer before heading down to Windy Gap. \nWINDY GAP: From this vantage point one faces into a seemingly perpetual wind that blows up from the broad canyon below. The benchmark here is posted at 7\,588′ \nMEETUP LOCATION AND TIME: 6:30 am at the meetup location on Hwy. 2 in La Canada. (BOOTS ON\, READY TO GO).\nIF MEETING THE GROUP THERE\, YOU MUST STATE SO\, OTHERWISE I WON’T BE STOPPING THERE.\nMEETUP DIRECTIONS: From the 210 Fwy\, exit at Angeles Crest Hwy and drive north about a quarter mile to just past Milmada Dr. in LA CANADA\, then park alongside the road.\nhttps://www.google.com/maps/place/34%C2%B012’31.7%22N+118%C2%B011’59.8%22W/@34.2088224\,-118.2021197\,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x0:0x3a7e81cac75a935a!7e2!8m2!3d34.2088179!4d-118.1999312 \nEARLIER MEETUP LOCATION AND TIME: 5:45am at the Woodland Hills Meetup location.\nIF MEETING THERE\, LET ME KNOW\, OTHERWISE I WON’T BE STOPPING THERE.\nhttps://www.google.com/maps/place/34%C2%B010’04.0%22N+118%C2%B037’16.0%22W/@34.1677751\,-118.6216512\,228m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x0:0x0!7e2!8m2!3d34.1677741!4d-118.6211043 \nDURATION: We’ll want to finish the hike and be back to the cars by 3:30 p.m. at the latest\, followed by lunch at The Habit Burger Grill/ Pandera Bread in La Canada. \nTERRAIN: Popular trails as well as an extremely dropping down from Windy Gap to Hwy. 2. \nDISTANCE: 7.5 miles \nELEVATION RANGE: Gain of 2200′ and a loss of 2800′ \nTHE PACE: A comfortable pace no faster than the slowest hiker. \nLEVEL: Advanced Intermediate \nMY CELL NUMBER IS: 805-538-5972 \nDOGS ALLOWED: NO

SUMMARY:ISLIP PEAK - The quest continues
DESCRIPTION: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.\nNEED HELP:\n[go to: https://wp.me/P9MbG4-hC](go to: https:/ \nTHE QUEST: My pursuit of taking on Mount Baden Powell the hard way\, via The Big Horn Mine on my 75th birthday\, continues as I get my self in shape by taking on Mount Islip this week. \nJoin me and experience the thrill of cross country hiking in the high country of the San Gabriel Mountains. We’ll be taking on Mount Islip from Windy Gap\, but we won’t be doing it the easy way via the PCT. Instead we’ll be dropping down to a trail on her south face before linking up with a trail coming up from Crystal Lake so as to make it more of a challenge. From there the fun begins as we go xcountry down to the PCT which will take us to the Mount Williamson Trailhead via Islip Saddle. This trek is only 9+ miles\, but it packs a punch with a 3000′ overall gain consisting of some popular trails\, “use trails” and no trail at all. This will be accomplished by way of a car shuttle.\nThis all day trek is for those of you who are looking for something a lot more challenging than the average outing. No beginners please unless you’re in top physical condition. Cross country hiking experience would help for this. If you have some place to be later in the day\, this event will not work for you. \nWe will be setting a steady pace with several breaks while staying together all the way so as not to lose anyone. \nMICRO SPIKES\, POLES AND GATORS ARE RECOMMENDED \nDAY’S AGENDA \nSTART: After dropping a car off at The Williamson Trailhead we’ll drive to the Windy Gap trailhead where the trek begins to Mount Islip. \nMOUNT ISLIP: Standing at 8200′\, this sharp high peak provides impressive views of the Mojave Desert\, the Los Angeles Basin\, Santa Catalina Island\, and San Clemente Island on a clear day. From here\, there will be no trail as we make our way down a ridge to the PCT trail which will take us to Islip saddle. \nISLIP SADDLE: This saddle sits between the two sister peaks Williamson and Islip\, and is the second highest pass along the Angeles Crest highway. We’ll pass through this saddle as we hike along the PCT trail. \nPCT TRAIL: The Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) begins in southern California at the Mexican border and travels a total distance of 2\,650 miles to the Canadian border. From Islip Saddle\, we’ll head up to the Bump. \nTHE BUMP: This is a high point high in the granite folds of Mt. Williamson which we will take on before heading down to the Mount Williamson trailhead where a car awaits our return. \nMEETUP LOCATION AND TIME: 6:30 am at the meetup location on Hwy. 2 in La Canada. (BOOTS ON\, READY TO GO).\nIF MEETING THE GROUP THERE\, YOU MUST STATE SO\, OTHERWISE I WON’T BE STOPPING THERE.\nMEETUP DIRECTIONS: From the 210 Fwy\, exit at Angeles Crest Hwy and drive north about a quarter mile to just past Milmada Dr. in LA CANADA\, then park alongside the road.\nhttps://www.google.com/maps/place/34%C2%B012’31.7%22N+118%C2%B011’59.8%22W/@34.2088224\,-118.2021197\,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x0:0x3a7e81cac75a935a!7e2!8m2!3d34.2088179!4d-118.1999312 \nEARLIER MEETUP LOCATION AND TIME: 5:45am at the Woodland Hills Meetup location.\nIF MEETING THERE\, LET ME KNOW\, OTHERWISE I WON’T BE STOPPING THERE.\nhttps://www.google.com/maps/place/34%C2%B010’04.0%22N+118%C2%B037’16.0%22W/@34.1677751\,-118.6216512\,228m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x0:0x0!7e2!8m2!3d34.1677741!4d-118.6211043 \nDURATION: We’ll want to finish the hike and be back to the cars by 3:30 p.m. at the latest\, followed by lunch at The Habit Burger Grill/ Pandera Bread in La Canada. \nTERRAIN: Popular trails\, “use” trails and no trails at all which can be extremely steep at times. \nDISTANCE: 9+ miles \nELEVATION RANGE: Gain of 3000′ and a loss of 3300′ \nTHE PACE: A comfortable pace no faster than the slowest hiker. \nLEVEL: Advanced Intermediate \nMY CELL NUMBER IS: 805-538-5972 \nDOGS ALLOWED: NO

We’ll visit two air force cargo plane crashes (C119 & C46) as we make our way from Mt. Williamson to Buckhorn Campground. At our half way point we’ll visit Goodykoontz Peak before dropping down to the cool pools of Little Rock Creek and Cooper Canyon Falls. This trek is only 8.5+ miles\, but it packs a punch with a 3000′ overall gain consisting of some popular trails\, “use” trails and no trail at all. This will be accomplished by way of a car shuttle and the drivers will need an ADVENTURE PASS. \nThis all day trek is for those of you who are looking for something a lot more challenging than the average outing. No beginners please unless you’re in top physical condition. Cross country hiking experience would help for this. If you have some place to be later in the day\, this event will not work for you. \nWe will be setting a steady pace with several breaks while staying together all the way so as not to lose anyone. \n**MICRO SPIKES\, POLES AND GATORS ARE RECOMMENDED**\n**AND DON’T FORGET THOSE WATER GUNS TO COOL OFF AT THE FALLS** \n**DAY’S AGENDA** \n**START:** After dropping a car off at Buckhorn Campground (Burkhart Trailhead)\, we’ll caravan to the The Williamson Trailhead where the trek begins to the 1ST PEAK. \n**1ST PEAK:** Mt. Williamson at 8214 ft. is the second highest peak north of highway 2 in the San Gabriel Mountains. From there we’ll follow THE RIDGE. \n**THE RIDGE:** Pleasant View Ridge starting at Mt.Williamson offers continuous views over desert and high mountain country. IT’S HERE WHERE WE’LL TAKE A SIDE RIDGE ROUTE TO CHECK OUT THE CRASH SITE OF TWO AIR FORCE CARGO PLANES (A C46 AND A C119) before heading down to the 2ND PEAK. \n**2ND PEAK**: Following yet another ridge takes us to Goodykoontz Peak at 7558′ which offers a great view of Williamson Rock below.
