| no partners | | Great day for a Christmas hike with Tim and Dave. The park was technically closed and we didn't expect to see so many people, but there were many walkers/hikers in the first mile of trails, and nobody besides us doing any off trail hiking, as far as we could tell. At the high points my thermometer read about 70 degrees in the sun.
Had some great Chinese food afterwards at "Chinese Combo Thai Cuisine" on Orange Grove / La Cholla.
Note: Stats are for both peaks Green Rock and Peak 3932.
Timeline:
-------------
10 am - started hike at Romero canyon trailhead, following Romero canyon trail
10:17 am (0.8 mi) - took branch left to go toward green rock
10:30 am (1.3 mi) - get off the main trail and continue East on a small side trail
10:31 am (1.4 mi) - turn left and cross the 20 foot deep canyon. Continue following a cairned trail towards Green Rock which should be a visible green rock formation on the Western edge of the mountain. Your goal is not to hike to this green rock but rather to a higher point on the ridgeline above it which is probably 300 or 400 feet away from the green colored rock formation.
10:55 am (1.9 mi) - At peak / high point. Didn't see a registry so we left a new jar.
11:24 am (2.04 mi) - Left the peak
12:00 pm (2.96 mi) - back a Y-junction, continued East on Romero Canyon trail
12:15 pm (3.5 mi) - met up with Dave W who was already on the trail
1:09 pm (4.6 mi) - started the off trail portion of the trail to Peak 3932
1:50 pm (5.11 mi) - arrived at Summit of 3932. had lunch, took photos
2:45 pm (5.22 mi) - started our descent from Peak 3932
3:17 pm (5.76 mi) - back to Romero Canyon trail
4:05 pm (7.2 mi) - took side trail down to check out Montrose canyon. Saw a few small pools of water. Probably would be a great place to swim after the rain season.
4:45 pm (8.6 mi) - back at trailhead
