I’m curious how far the nearest non- urban trailhead is to where you live.

What’s an “urban” trailhead? Here in LA we can get pretty far back into the San Gabriels from a trailhead next to someone’s house…
about a mile…
dwb
120 feet from my office window.
There be Mountain Lions
About nine miles to the nearest Forest Service trailhead.
5 miles – Colorado Trail – Waterton Canyon segment 1
about 15 miles or so. Depends on which mountain range I pick.
About 6 miles to various BLM and National Monument trailheads.

but the Sierra’s are a three hours drive which sucks and that is with good traffic!!!
I remember from my college days packing in the cucamonga wilderness, some rugged & pretty country…I guess by urban trailhead I meant paved, dodging rollerbladers and timetrialers.
Just for the record it’s about 3 miles to a trail shared with horses and mtn bikers and about 8 to a wilderness area here in north central washington state.
In Anchorage, Alaska it’s only a few miles to a number of trailheads.
My theory here is anyone who lives a bit away from a trail just isn’t going to respond but I also believe there is some kind of outdoor experience close to us all.
To a trail worth the drive about 1200 miles.
A lot of it depends on definitions.
Actually, a survey function on this web site would be kind of cool.
45 miles to the AT. 3 hours to a decent wilderness area.
Approximately one mile to my favorite State Park with the most difficult trails in the state. 45 minutes drive to the A.T.
is this the same larry savage that grew up on red hill in cucamonga?
As near as I remember I spent about 6 years on or near that hill, before that I lived in New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and Utah. I’ve been in Washington State for 28 years, right in the middle. I am still climbing, the equipment has gotten better, the technique a little worse so I’m at about the same place. I assume you are not a little squeek anymore and have a healthy interest in clean living and lightweight backpacking. No reason to hijack this ol’ thread, if you are inclined e-mail me at angnoel@peoplepc.com
