Football is played with a round ball and NFL isn't a sport. Whether you agree or you just don't care, let's hike during the Super Bowl when hopefully the trails and freeways will be a lot less busy.

We'll do one or both of Sunset Peak (~7mi/1300' RT) and Lookout Mountain (~4mi/2300' RT). I've only done Baldy/Icehouse when I go that way and I haven't explored this area. There are alternate routes for both. Who knows? I'll let you decide when we get there.

Both peaks are on the HPS list so you'll have bragging rights. However, we won't do Lookout if there's difficult snow on the route, and rain cancels the hike entirely.

Bring the ten essentials, including warm clothing.

Meet in front of the Wendy's in Claremont. We won't go in.

NOTE: You might need an Adventure Pass. Pick one up at a sporting goods store first, they don't sell them at the trailhead. Or, use an annual National Parks Pass. I really don't know what the parking situation is like, but if there's no developed facilities you don't need the pass.
