This group is for hikers of all levels who want to explore the beauty and incredible trails of the San Gabriel Mountains, and the rest of Southern California. As our name suggests, many of our hikes will begin early in the morning, although we have regular evening hikes as well. The early starts allow us to hit the trails (and the parking lots) before the crowds set in, and by starting early we also finish all but our longest hikes before noon.

Our hikes range from short and fairly easy (3-5 miles and about 1,000 feet of elevation gain) to intermediate (in the range of 7-10 miles and 2-3,000 feet of elevation) to advanced (our Mt. Wilson summit hikes, for instance, are usually about 15 miles and 4,200 feet).

One important note: So that as many people as possible can enjoy the wonderful trails that this group visits, we have a strict no-flake policy. Many of our hikes have wait lists. If you're on the "yes" list for a hike with a wait list, you absolutely must show up. Flaking on a wait-list hike means you deprived someone else of the chance to join us, and it gets you suspended for six months in our group. Changing your RSVP when you change your mind about a hike takes 10 seconds, and it's the right thing to do.

So set that alarm clock, beat the crowds and the heat, and come explore the beauty that's hidden in our local mountains.
