Looking for a good first trip in the San Gabriels or around Southern California. Most of my hiking has been in the Los Padres NF, but most of my normal places are either closed due to fires, or completely dry. Been seeing some videos from a guy down there (Pharaoh’s Youtube channel) that makes it look like parts of the San Gabriels have water still.
Looking for a hike I can do with my gf over a weekend. This will be a more mellow trip, so maybe under 15-20 miles total. Water would be great to have on trail, but not a deal breaker. Figured I would see if anyone has some good suggestions.
Thanks!
