Mono Cones Feb 14

later the same day my neighbors and I attempted to ride to the top of McGee Mtn. snow was super thin, we rode about 1/2 mile of dirt roads just to get to the snow. 











If we could have made it up this slope we could have made it to the top. Lots of big rocks discouraged us from making multiple attempts.








Below you can see Mono Cones in the background

For anyone interested, there are some great hiking books on amazon.com such as "Trails of the Angeles: 100 hikes in the San Gabriels."  I am looking forward to receiving my copy - there is a fold out map in the book as well.

FIGHT ON, I am Bill from the SGMDF.  Hey, I am planning a similar hike starting from Vincent Gap, going down to Bigrock creek hiking up to Islip saddle and traveling north along PCT and completing the loop to Vincent Gap.  I am thinking of doing this as an overnighter and staying at Little Jimmy camp.  Nice pictures by the way.

Anyone up for one last walk up Hiway 2 west of Vincent Gap Saturday morning after the power comes back on?   It's not strenuous and should be real pretty in the morning.

Just remember the Adventure Pass!!!!!

I'd like to do it, if it isn't too early (I don't DO mornings  ) - what time is the power supposed to come back on?  I walked out there last week, about half way to Dawson Saddle, and there are a couple of incredible waterfalls along the way, that aren't able to be seen or heard while driving.  How far did you plan to go, and what time?  And, how fast do you walk?  I'm not in the best of shape, but we did 5 miles RT in a reasonable amount of time.

five miles without a camera?

I was planning on leaving WW about 8:30.  So it would be about 9 a.m.  Distance?  What we feel like. 

[Nolena]

That was fun. 

[ForestGal]

Very pleasant indeed.    I wish those waterfalls would remain all summer.

how many went with you? no cameras?? so selfish! 

[ForestGal]

how many went with you? no cameras?? so selfish! 

There were 3 of us, and no photographers in the group.    I've had my little Canon Powershot A-520 for at least 3 years now, and I have yet to figure out how to get the pics off of the memory chip.  Of course, I haven't tried.......  And even if I did, I wouldn't know how to post them here.  Maybe I'll make that my next learning experience.  

[pinetrees]

Wow, sounded like great fun!  Hope I can make it for a walk in the future!  But my June Saturdays are going to be taken up with CERT classes! 

Gee, Fight On, please don't give the hikers a guilt trip, maybe they won't share their fun with us next time!  Perhaps you could take your camera to get a shot of the waterfalls next time!
