EISPIRATEN

Does anyone know where I can find a photo or image that identifies all the major peaks of the San Gabriel Mountains? I've found a couple of photos but haven't come across a comprehensive peak identification photo. Any leads are much appreciated.

Has anyone been up to the Little Jimmy area recently? I was wondering what the conditions (i.e. snow on the ground) are at the campground. Any 411 would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you for the 411!

I've never seen the stream by the Ski Hut on the Baldy Bowl Trail run dry but I was wondering if anyone can confirm that it is flowing right now? Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Any recent report on the water flow at the creek below Cedar Glen camp in Icehouse Canyon would be greatly appreciated. Much thanks!

Much thanks! I totally missed that.

Has anyone been through Kelly's Camp recently? If so, I would appreciate any report on the condition of the spring. Thanks in advance.

I was able to locate 3 decent camp spots, about 50 yards east of the PCT/western Mt. Burnham use trail junction just below (northside) the PCT. I read on summitpost that there is a nice camp spot on the "forested north side of this peak, just below the PCT as it passes below the north face of B...

Yes, I believe it is. Here's a closer shot of the fire around 8:30am on Sat. WTF? How does a fire start there! That's like Gunsight Notch or something isn't it? I don't think this is related to this fire, but this is a small fire I observed just east of Iron Mt. from the PCT on my way to Baden-Powel...

I don't think this is related to this fire, but this is a small fire I observed just east of Iron Mt. from the PCT on my way to Baden-Powell on Saturday. I saw air tankers do multiple drops of red fire retardant in an attempt to contain this fire. I haven't seen any reports on this fire. https://eis...

Here's the message I received from ATOC... Starting Friday morning, there will be no parking allowed from Icehouse Canyon to the chairlifts. GRR will be closed from 11am on race day and prior to that time, parking is available on a first come first served basis. GMR will be subject to a rolling clos...

You can obtain the CA campfire permit at a ranger station. Otherwise, you can download and sign this 2011 permit, which is valid in CA.

By any chance, do you know where the ACH is open til? Is it open past Islip Saddle?

Thanks for the 411.

Has anyone been up to Baden Powell recently? If so, how are the conditions? Any information would be much appreciated! Thanks.

Spent a night at Monte Cristo on Monday night to view the Geminids meteor shower. We were the only ones at the campground that set up a tent. Not sure what they were up to, but there were 2 other cars that left the campground by 4am. Maybe it's a bit more quiet during the weekends, but I will defini...

Thanks for pointing me to that TR. I'm definitely planning on bringing microspikes, etc. just in case. Much thanks!

Does anyone know how the trail conditions are to Mt. Williamson from Islip Saddle? Any info would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Great work! Nice bumping into you at the visitor center on Friday night.

Home bye 11:15 PM to bed at 12 midnight and up at 4:15AM to meet with two more friends that wanted to do Ice House and the three “T’s”. Started up the trail by 6:15 AM after leaving the second car at the Ski Lift lower parking lot. Bye the time we reached “Thunder” the heat was getting intense, aga...

It will be greatly appreciated if anyone who has any updated info on the trail conditions for Icehouse Saddle and beyond (i.e. Ontario Peak, Bighorn Peak, Kelly's Camp and Timber Mt.) can share their info/observations. I'm planning a quick backpacking trip next weekend and any info re: water at Kell...

Hi! Please let me know if you lost a camera on Big Iron on Saturday, May 22. If so, please tell me some details about it. My group found it and we have it! Cheers! Liz This doesn't help since I don't have his contact info, but the guy who lost his camera was hiking with his friend from UK. I told h...

One of the nicest XC loops in the San Gabriels starts at the west Mt. Williamson trailhead, heads up to Williamson, then curves along Pleasant View Ridge to Burkhart Saddle, takes the High Desert Trail to the PCT, follows the PCT to Eagles Roost, and then finally follows the PCT east back to the we...

I was up there Saturday night attempting to do an overnighter on Williamson but was turned back after encountering a large patch of snow right before the saddle. We made it past the first patches of snow. I wish we had brought our microspikes. I'm guessing the patch that stopped you was the one I b...

Wow, the Billy Goat. He's supposed to be quite the character. I wonder how many freakin' times he's going to do the PCT. HJ Unfortunately, I didn't get to ask the Billy much since he was already getting ready for bed in his bivy. According to 2 others who was camping with him, it was his 9th time u...

Yup. My friend spent the night in his BD bipod bivy a little ways up from me.

Great job guys! Don't know if you noticed but I was in a tent about 200' up from the ski hut. We heard you guys come through in the morning.
