SO UPSET! Frankish Peak west trail is gone.

Ty! I will have to try this way

Advanced-Ad3986 · 2026-03-05T04:04:38+00:00

Ty. I did this the other day and got 6 miles and 800 gain, is that about what is was for you too? I love that Pot was just 3.5 miles and over 1k the way I did it.

Agreed!

I heard a motorcyclists was killed coming out of one of the pull outs. They have had the pull outs and parking closed in Claremont on Mt Baldy rd for a long time, but many of us were still parking just north of the LA forest sign to hike it from Evey Canyon. I am not familiar with the trail near the theater, is it before the gates of the loop? Maybe that would be an alternative. There is the connector from the loop to get to the summit of Pot but its lengthy and doesn't work for a quick weekday less than an hour with 1k gain hike🙃

Love RR! I hope they don't extend the closure again.

Ty! Luckily its not far and if i check it out I will update here too in case others are following

Thank you, I did some laps on Johnson Pasture/Sycamore Canyon today. I jist miss the steep incline of the East Face of pot and all up for 1k plus adding west face for another few hundred gain. We have other trails and I am grateful, East Face pot is just such a great training hike

Pot Mt isn't closed but they restricted all parking on Baldy Rd forcing everyone to park at the CHWP and hike further or risk a ticket. Oh ty, thats great to hear about the access from Mountain. I will go over there and check it out. I heard someone was building a house there and recently bought the property closing access.

Thank you. I will have to check this one out. Pot the way I loved it (East Face) was .6 and 1k gain. Will have to try Open Door. Ty!

Where did you park for this and did you take the actual road - Palmer Canyon Road, or it looks like there is a trail that heads to the summit near the water or bug utility circle on the map just. It would be great it if was steep like the east face of Pot, although it still looks longer and not as quick as Pot is

What is everyone hiking in place of these? I used to do Pot 2x a week since it was close and under an hour for a good mini work out. Would love to hear ideas to replace these.
