How many of you are out there? I'm in Ventura, CA. You?

[Jennifer W]

Thousand Oaks here.

With visiting family we just went to the Coastal Cone, at the harbor, tonight.

[BRIAN TACKETT]

We just hiked Paradise falls out there last weekend.
Nice little hidden place.

The Big OC

[Christopher Holly]

Pasadena here – spending more and more time in the Eastside to prepare for JMT next summer. Heading to the Charlotte Dome area next week!

[Jeff M.]

Another OC here, although in a week I'll be moving to SLO.

[John Brown]

Highland Park! Where are you all Northeast LA folks hiking w/ the 2 closed?

[EndoftheTrail]

Pasadena as well.

[Ben Crowell]

Serving a life sentence in OC.

[Adan Lopez]

San Dimas, east of Pasadena. San Gabriels, San Bernardinos.

[James Naphas]

Torrance here. I usually day hike up in the Portuguese Bend area in PV, and just got back from a backpacking trip in SEKI.

Palm Springs. 100s of miles of trails within a 60 mile radius.

[Marilyn Pitts]

Highland Park.

[Stephen Barber]

La Mirada here.

[Ben Crowell]

Hey, grampa — looks like we're neighbors. I live in Fullerton, near Gilbert and Rosecrans (a couple of blocks north of Amerige Heights).

Tujunga

[Hikin’ Jim]

In and around Pasadena/Glendale.

In answer to the Q about Angeles Crest: the crest is still accessible; only the lower section of ACH is closed. You drive up Big T, go left on Angeles Forest, turn right on Upper Big T, and then connect to the upper section of ACH. Adds about 30 min. to the drive, but the backcountry is open. Great time to get out in the backcountry — the road closure has WAY reduced the number of folks in the backcountry. I did two hikes along the PCT last month. Hardly saw anyone.

And of course there's always the San Bernardino and San Jacinto Mountains as well as the mountains in Ventura County.

BUNCHES of hikes out there. So Cal is fabulous place for hikers.

Pasadena. The station fire kind of screwed things up but there are still plenty of backpacking/hiking choices east of the the fire zone.

"Hey, grampa — looks like we're neighbors. I live in Fullerton, near Gilbert and Rosecrans (a couple of blocks north of Amerige Heights)."

You're just down the road! I live near Rosecrans and Biola!

[Ben Crowell]

"You're just down the road! I live near Rosecrans and Biola!"
Cool! Want to do a day-hike in the San Gabriels sometime?

[Jack Bauer]

San diego.

[BRIAN TACKETT]

After surfing on here, I knew some of us had to be neighbors! Some of us have probably passed each other on the trails.

[Nick Gatel]

Well maybe not on the trails, but most certainly on the freeways!
