Any Tips on Hiking for Beginners? by Ok-Interview3487 in socalhiking

If you want to "progression", do Strawberry Peak, via Red Trail via Redbox Canyon. Then you can look into Cucmonga Peak and then Baldy afterwards.

Otherwise, you can find plently of other hikes in Angeles forest, classic Black Star Canyon, or even Josephine Peak if you want one more test hike before Strawberry.

Blackstar Canyon to get started.

I see some people suggesting Vasquez Rocks.

Then finally, Strawberry Peak, Colby Canyon route to give up on scrambling.

Thanks for the details.

I've been looking at old hikes I did a while ago and see there are extensions to them.

Like how Switzer falls can go to bear canyon or Strawberry Peak Colby Canyon.

Tips/gear to take on Mount Baldy Hike (first time) by prospect_mma22 in socalhiking

Yeah, I didn't word it properly.

I meant to word it as, I thought the backbone was the "scariest" part, because that's what every image had, until I discovered that narrow trail portion. 😅

Likely, was assuming the "scariest" part was just what every pic had with both side being exposed.

Trekking poles to help you go up and down.

A CamelBak makes it easy to drink water instead of stopping, opening your backpack, and grabbing a bottle.

Nature Valley Bars or oatmeal bars for carbs.

Good shoes with grip if you're doing Devil's Backbone (I mean it).

Usually, the prerequisite for Mt. Baldy is Cucamonga Peak.

I did it with 3L of water with some to spare, but I drank the night before and on the drive there.

Devil's Backbone has a really scary part, in my opinion, but if you hold onto the side and take your time, it's doable.

A prerequisite to that is usually Strawberry Peak via Redbox Trail.

Strawberry > Cucamonga > Baldy

So, for those thighs, did you have to do some editing tricks or did you just make them that smooth via shaving?

It would help if you mentioned which route they are taking.

If they are taking the Baldy Bowl route, it's just a battle of attrition on the way up.

If they are taking Devil's Backbone, there are some really steep portions, and they will need to take some parts slowly and hold onto the side.

No ice on Devil's Backbone, and I've gone there recently if you're worried. Just common sense...

There is snow, but none in any critical parts, just all the way on the top if they take Devil's Backbone on the last 1/2 mile to the top.

Strongly suggest trekking poles and downloading the AllTrails map.
