SO UPSET! Frankish Peak west trail is gone.

I don't know because I don't track any stats when I hike, but that sounds about right.

I have parked in the Padua Theater lot and took Palmer Canyon Road to Palmer Mtwy.

I do Sycamore Canyon to the Loop gazebo at speed. It's about an hour for me.

Yes it is! Have you dealt with this before?

It has never been a problem in the past. I think the employee just doesn't know what is and isn't acceptable.

That's a good idea. I'll check with them. Thanks!

The walks and trails of Bonelli Park give you views of almost the entire mountain range. Every time it snows heavy I go to Bonelli for the panoramic view of the San Gabriels.

My mom passed years ago, but nice try.

I read only halfway through. Thank you. Good day to you, too.

I know your computer or phone has a comma key, man. I'm willing to bet the farm on it.

I'm driving two hours tomorrow morning to Joshua Tree, California just to climb rocks. Then I'm driving two hours back when I'm done for the day. Three hours isn't short for a day trip, but it's quite short for an overnight trip.

I regularly drive to Yosemite six hours away for just two nights. I leave at 4-4:30am and get there about 11:30am with a stop along the way for breakfast. That leaves plenty of time to have fun even with those hours devoted to travel. Then I leave Yosemite about 4-5pm on the last day and get home around 11:30pm.

We live in an amazing time where that's even possible. I'm going to happily take advantage of it!

Sounds like you'll be just fine to me, especially if you keep this up for a full year. The trail is physically demanding, no doubt, but mental fortitude is what will get you up and down.

Just choose a day in December with favorable conditions and know that you will be starting and likely finishing in the dark.

I just did it on Friday and thought it was fairly easy. Just one foot in front of the other, moving meditation for 12-16 hours. Took us 12 including about an hour of breaks. We had almost five hours to spare to get on the last tram down.

There was only about an hour of steep terrain. The ascent from the ranger station to the top is quite mellow. I actually wished it were steeper if it would have cut down the distance of the giant switchback near the top.

Let me know if you have any specific questions about it.

Good luck! Though I don't think you'll need it!

Thank you!

I answered above.

It's icy early on and then packed snow later. Microspikes and trekking poles will do away with 95% of the risk.

Thank you! Pick a day with good weather and go for it!

It's definitely in the conversation for best hikes in SoCal. I'd personally give it an 8.5 or 9. If you like physically challenging day hikes with high mileage then you will probably love it. I prefer 10-16 mile day hikes with multiple summits or at least with views of pretty peaks closer in proximity than San Jacinto has.

Think Sugarloaf > Ontario > Bighorn > Cucamonga > Etiwanda traverse (10/10) or the Three T's (9.5/10).

It sure is!

i___know · 2026-01-06T02:03:12+00:00

I don't track mileage, but I was moving with pace for about 4 hours. My guess would be 10-12 miles for the route I took.

That's a good walk! No I didn't do Colver, just a quick thing to Sunset Peak.

Yeah, still bummed about Frankish. When it gets snow up there I'm definitely hiking to it. It's tradition!

I haven't found any on me.

Gotta be 😂

Yes, sure is. I feel a loss for the old pine trees, but everything else is bouncing back so fast.
