Thanks for all you do, Casey. I was raised by hippies in a hiking family but am now on the mom grind, holding down a full time job, etc. Reading your blog reminds me of how important it is to get outside. I also appreciate your environmentalism and clear point of view. Thanks for encouraging us to hike locally and somehow endure climate change while trying to effect change. Your blog and photos lift my spirits and keep the bee in my bonnet alive to go on a hike. Love and appreciation to you!
ah thank you so much for the kind note ... and for reading :) Hope you can still find time once in a while to get out for a hike, even if it's just a short one in a park!
Major bummer right now is a good portion of the Angeles Crest Highway is closed due to major repairs. It's closed from Red Box to Vincent Gap, closing off most of the upper elevation hiking in Los Angeles. I told my friends this will be an Icehouse summer lol
Ahhhhh no! That road almost always gets destroyed in the winter, but with this year's wallop it must have really taken a beating. Some of the best hiking in the San Gabriels is up there!
It may be a long drive depending on where you are, but I'd also suggest checking out some approaches from the north side of the San Gabes, too. Pacifico is a high altitude mountain that's on the western part of the range as well!
