Trip Basics:

Route Description: We'll do an out-and-back from Vincent Gap to Throop. Mt. Hawkins is an optional spur of about 2 miles. This is a beautiful section of the Pacific Crest Trail and the summit offers an impressive 360 degree view, which includes Mt Baldy, the Mojave desert, and on clear days, even the Pacific Ocean.

Mileage: 12ish miles + optional 3ish miles over to Mt. Hawkins

Elevation Gain: Maybe 5k cumulative gain with all the ups and down

Pace: Moderate, we should finish in about 6 to 7 hours

RSVPing - I disabled guests (as is my policy on longer hikes) so please, no +1's.

Meeting Location/ Trail Head Parking: 34.37362,-117.752151. (You can put that right into your GPS or google maps for driving directions). It is the intersection of CA-2 W/Angeles Crest Hwy and Big Rock Creek Rd. There is a parking lot there.
