PLAN B HIKE: Here's a hike I've been wanting to do for awhile, and is a great time to chalk it up before this area becomes an oven during the summer months. I've been to Pacifico Mountain, but I haven't done Bare Mountain but it totally looks doable or we'll at least go for it!!! ;)

Overview:

Pacifico Mountain (7,124):

Pacifico Mountain is a the most prominent peak in the northwestern San Gabriel Mountains with extensive views of the San Gabriels, Mojave and the western Transverse Ranges. It has a prominence of P1610 making it the fourth most prominent peak in the entire range. On it's granite boulder covered summit is a nice small campground.

BARE MOUNTAIN (6,388):

Bare Mountain is likely named based on its appearance, sparsely covered with chaparral with no trees. There is an old shooting range at Pinyon Flats, but I don't think is is active anymore. The signs were all shot up and lying on the ground.

So that's it, No Problem....Riiiight! :)

We can park on the dirt spot on the intersection of Angels Forest Highway (Co Highway N3) and Pacifico Mountain Road (Forest Service Road 3N17)

What to Bring:

PLEASE NOTE :

My hikes are for the strong at heart and will be moving at a good pace. There will be NO sweeper and you are ultimately responsible for yourselves. I'm only here to lead you in the right direction, so please know your limits as this hike is a butt-kicker!!!
