EASY Chantry Flats to Hoegee’s Camp.

If you’re looking for an easier version of Chantry Flats, here’s your answer: Hoegee's Loop is about a 5 mile loop on Upper Winter Creek Trail, Lower Winter Creek Trail, and a portion of the Gabrielino Trail. The total loss/gain is 1,080 feet. The leader rates this as easy/moderate, mostly due to the steep climb up the paved road the last half-mile of the hike. The hike has numerous creek crossings, but the water level should be fairly low in June. We will see Hoegee's Camp (a hike-in campground frequented by Boy Scouts), several check dams, and cabins (Hoegees) built in the 1930's. The leader (LINDA) will meet you at the trailhead for the hike at 7AM.

Directions to the trail head: To get to the trailhead, take I-210 to Arcadia, exit on Santa Anita Ave and head north. Continue to the edge of the city, pass a sturdy gate (open 6AM to 10PM) and ascend along a curling asphalt rode to the road's end, Chantry Flat (apx 6 miles), where you pass the trailhead on the right next to the bathroom and enter the first parking lot.

Leader: Linda

Rated: Easy to Moderate
