Dawn Mine
Details
By request of our glorious leader Lee (All hail the Glorious Leader LEE) I present the Dawn Mine...
Date/Time: 06/07/2008 11/16/14 at 9am
Location: Altadena
Organizer: Trump
Details: Distance: 6 miles
Elevation: 1600 foot gain
Difficulty: 5/10
Trailhead: From Loma Alta Drive in Altadena, drive up the Chaney Trail (past a locked gate that opens at 6am) to the top of sunset ridge, where there is parking by the roadside. The trail starts east on the gated paved sunset Ridge fire road.
Description: This is a fun hike with quite a bit of diversity. The hike starts out on Sunset Ridge, with great views of Millard Canyon. The trail then drops sharply into a dark and heavily wooded canyon with an abandoned gold mine to add an interesting twist to the trek. The hike through the canyon has many lovely spots with gentle pools and small cascades. Bring along a camera. There is a bit of rock scrambling involved in this hike so its slightly harder than the distance and elevation would indicate.
I haven't done this hike in years. Expectations of perfection will be met with imperfection.
