This blog will detail 1,000 video hikes in Southern California. By Southern California, I am drawing a line from San Luis Obispo to the Nevada Border. Anything south of that line will be declared "Southern California". In a way, it is a personal challenge to do so many hikes. Mainly, however, it is my way of showcasing how many hiking opportunities there really are right in our own geographic back yard. As a blog, it serves as a companion piece to my Youtube channel "1,000 Hikes in So Cal". It is also a work in progress, as I don't actually have 1,000 edited videos completed. This will take effort for quite some time before it is declared done. Even then, there will still be more out there. Here's to hiking and all the positive effects it has had on my life...and possibly yours!
Definitely a random peak, but a peak is a peak, and a hike is a hike. Although the hike starts out looking rather steep, it is a short hike and also a short lived climb. Once reaching the top of the initial slope, the use trail continues toward the summit in a gradual ascent.
Approaching the summit.
The area feels a bit like the land in between where people tend to go, which leaves this hike pretty much to yourself. Once summitting, there are grand views of the San Gabriel range in all directions. It is possible to go down the opposite slope and continue up toward Pacifico Mountain, which dwarfs this peak to the north. However, since I had other plans for Pacifico Mountain, I returned the way I came, content with visiting this lightly visiting summit and adding it to my completed list of hikes.
