+ihorn Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 It depends on what you want. I have a couple of books with hiking trails for all of So Cal, plus a book that is just for LA. If you send me a pm I can give you some ideas. Quote Link to comment
+ThirstyMick Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Anza Borrego is great (but watch out for mountain lions ) or Joshua Tree. The Cleveland National Forest is a bit closer and also very pretty. Quote Link to comment
+G & C Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 I'd hit Mt. Baldy. Or Cucamonga Peak. Both of which have some geocaches on the way up. If you're not interested in peak bagging, there are lots of nice trails north of Azusa. I just don't know about geocaches there. Quote Link to comment
+Jeepergeo Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 (edited) Momyer Trailhead into the San Gorgonio Wilderness (near Forest Falls). Tons of people use Vivian Creek Trailhead a mile upstream, but few use Momyer. Alger Creek, a few miles up the trail, is beautiful. Do watch for bears. Carry a canister or be prepared to hang your food and smellables. Edited October 3, 2010 by Jeepergeo Quote Link to comment
+Jeepergeo Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Idlehour above Pasadena is pretty nice too. Often, you can have the entire camp to yourself on a weekend. The fire devastated the route in, but Ildehour came through OK. Quote Link to comment
+EScout Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 How about 30 minutes from Long Beach. The Palos Verdes Penninsula: There are several nice day hikes. Here are two I entered on EveryTrail: Ocean Trails (Next to Trump Golf) Portuguese Bend Reserve Quote Link to comment
+rockotter Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 San Jacinto Peak via Marion Mountain. Great hike!!! Quote Link to comment
+Jeepergeo Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Well, I guess this would qualify as a hike. Walk the bike trail along Huntington State Beach. If you start off at Sunset Beach, you can detour across PCH and walk out into the Bolsa Chica salt marsh along the way. Then continue down the bike trail as far as you care to go. Stop for lunch (Recommended: Strips and Cheese at Dwights) at Huntington City Beach, then continue down to the outlet of the Santa Ana River. At that point, turn around and walk back, or get a ride back. Or better yet, have a fire on the beach and watch the sunset. Quote Link to comment
