Peak 3 of our Six Pack of Peaks challenge was Strawberry Peak in the San Gabriel Mountains. The trail starts off Angeles Crest Highway across from the Red Box Picnic Area, and the hike is generally considered challenging. In this post, the Cranky Camper shares her experience, as well as a minor misadventure on the trail.
On a cloudy, cool day, Owen explores a different hike from Angeles Crest to a familiar spot: the Gould Mesa Campground.
There are many lovely waterfall hikes in the Angeles National Forest. This post features hikes from Chantry Flat in Big Santa Anita Canyon, Millard Falls, and Switzer Falls, as well as the popular Eaton Canyon waterfall.
The Angeles National Forest has a number of trails and camps that can make for a fun backpacking adventure. The Gabrielino Trail and other trails in Big Santa Anita Canyon made for a fun introductory backpacking weekend close to Los Angeles.
When plans changed due to a brush fire, we were suggested a new hike. We explored Millard Canyon in the Angeles National Forest above Altadena, California. The trail was a short, fun adventure through a green canyon and lead to a lovely waterfall.
