Name: Independence Peak, Independence Ca, Independence Day
Start: 2025-07-04T15:00:00.000Z
Location: Onion Valley Campground

As we wait for the backcountry to open up, lets start on a leisurely hike. The hike is considered moderate, 9.0 miles r.t. and roughly 1250 ft. elevation gain. We will start at the end in Paradise and head up hill for roughly 4.5 miles. This will not take us to the 395 junction. At the turn around point we can take a leisurely break before heading back down the canyon to the car (s).
Please be well prepared with good sturdy hiking boot/shoes, hat, sun screen, bug repellent (never know), water, snacks/lunch, optional hiking poles, etc.
Dogs welcome, owners responsibility.

Meeting location: 9:00am TH parking lot, Paradise.
Please message me for addition details or if you like to carpool.

Lower Rock Creek Trail - Lower Trailhead

I was inspired last year by several members of the group. Independence Peak is a short fun and challenging route. We will leave from the Onion Valley Campground on Robinson Lake trail. After a few short miles, reaching Robinson Lake, the off-trail adventure will begin. Summiting Independence Peak will require some Class 3 scrambling towards the top. So please be prepared with the proper gear. Reaching the summit we will be rewarded with breath taking views and raising the American Flag.
Please be well prepared with good sturdy hiking boot/shoes, hat, gloves, sun screen, bug repellent (never know), water, snacks/lunch, optional hiking poles, etc.

**Details:**
3.2 mi r.t
2,513 ft. elevation gain
