So Cal Happy Hour Hiking & Backpacking

Hiking & outdoors community – we need your help to search for missing hiker Monica Reza - last seen hiking Mt. Waterman via Upper West Ridge trail. This search is conducted by friends and community members that care for Monica, empathize with the situation, and want to help bring her home. The Angeles Forest is vast and the terrain is rough, and we need all hands, eyes, ears, and feet on deck to cover its grounds.

Experienced hiking coordinators are available to guide you where to search, depending on your skill and comfort level. Pair/group searches can be coordinated as needed. Note: even though this even is set on the weekends, volunteers are always welcome to signup to help search any day of the week!

If interested please click Attend here. Then fill out this form and coordinators will get in touch:

We’re car camping again at Mt Pacifico Campground, 7,100’ elevation, on this LAST DAY OF DAYLIGHT SAVINGS!
We gain an extra hour, overnight!
We’ve camped at this popular destination several times over the last 3 years, here on Meetup.

Set up your tent, or sleep in your vehicle.
Arrive at the campground, anytime, whether if you’re driving up, biking up, or hiking up the PCT from Mill Creek.

This is a FREE, first come, first served campground.
There are picnic tables, fire pits, and vault toilets. There is no water.
Bring your own water supply.

High clearance vehicle required, especially the last mile on the fire road leading up to the campground. For example, a Subaru Outback will make it, but a Prius will definitely get stuck and leave you stranded.

Adventure Pass required to park either at the Mill Creek trailhead or the campground.

You also have the option to hike on the PCT, or bike up the fire road, to the campground, about 6 miles, from the Mill Creek trailhead.
We can transport all your extra water supply and whatever gear up to the campground for you, if you want. Just arrange to meet at the trailhead parking lot, as usual.

Join me for a 6miles evening hike. Let's finish the day with clear mind so we enjoy the rest of the week days. It's been a while since our last hike around this area. Let’s hike again and enjoy the great mountains, nice views of downtown LA, beautiful sunset announcing the end of the day, and the perfect weather.
We are starting a little at 5:00pm at the trail head going N and come down S. (only)

2 liters of water, hiking poles, Hiking shoes, and a snack.
It’s 6 miles loop hike moderate pace.
