Lots 'o mountains...Was fortunate enough to have been introduced to this range at a young age, and after a long spell of passing it up in favor of more exotic hiking spots, the lure of SummitPost has drawn me back to bag 'em all...

Weekend GetawayAlthough I enjoy the solitude very much, it's a shame that more people do not take advantage of this great wilderness in our backyard!

Re: Weekend GetawayBe careful what you wish for! It would be a shame for more trails and peaks to end up like the Bridge to Nowhere and Baldy...

Above the smogGreat weather on a day hike that included Baldy and Harwood. Nice views all around, except for the LA area covered in a nasty layer of smog.

beautiful mountainsI love these mountains. At first when I moved here, I missed the Sierras. Once I discovered the San Gabriels, I was so happy.. I have begun to become acquainted with their unique character.
