Led 81 people (mostly out of towners) on the northern loop, clockwise direction. Took a crazy long time to move that many people two miles! We started just before sunset, so the last half of it was in the dark with headlamps. Around the turnoff to Pusch Peak we encountered a baby rattler that became a big deal to them (because most of them had never seen one before), and many of them spotted a small scorpion on the way out near the trailhead.

From Garden of Gethsemane to our prior stopping point north of Speedway, then down to Paseo de las Iglesias across from 41st Street and back. Visited the Las Milpitas Community Farm, a few historical markers, and walked through the Garden of Gethsemane when returning.

Planned to do Josephine and Hopkins peaks, but didn’t quite turn out that way!

Started from Madera Canyon, plan was to do Josephine first. At Riley Saddle we turned off and got a little ways in before calling it. The brush was insanely thick, no way to make it currently that I could see and I was trying to follow the HAZ track.

So we abandoned that summit attempt and headed for Hopkins, taking Super to Agua Caliente, and at the point where we were closest to the Hopkins road, we took a little, steep, unnamed path straight up to it, then hiked the road to the summit, having lunch on top.

We headed down the summit road a short distance then bushwhacked down the steep mountainside to rejoin the Agua Caliente. There was nothing really to follow there, though we did stumble onto game trails a couple of times for a little ways which helped. We then headed down Agua Caliente to Vault Mine Trail to Old Baldy, back the short distance down to the trailhead.

Weather was perfect, and we saw a number of deer and some birds. Great but tiring day!

going up Baldy and Super

One more of the 100 Hikes down, with the wife! We decided to go counter clockwise and get the elevation over with quickly. It was steep enough to definitely slow us down. On the Waterline we were basically hiking a dirt road, then back on trail when we got on the Bear Jaw.

Late start, 9:45am. Nice trip with a steady, constant climb like Mt Ord, and virtually no ups and downs. Online saw 4 hikers and a forest service volunteer (removing a couple of downed trees from the path), but on the way back ran into 18 going up. Accidentally found a geocache under a bug tree by the locked up cabin near the top, an ammo can that was mostly empty. At the top we walked around the helipad and up to the tower, which is starting to show signs of disrepair, a couple of window panes are now broken, the paint is falling from the ceiling, and parts of the flooring a breaking apart, but still it’s in mostly good shape. Great views from the tower.
