Dan's Hiking Pages: Hikes in the San Gabriels and Beyond

  Hike Log

Below is a log of most of various hikes I've done in the past 14 years. I've hiked a lot in the years previous, but the records are not easily retrievable. *Hike numbers are from John Robinson's Trails of the Angeles: 100 Hikes in the San Gabriels.

Access Note:
The record rainfall of Winter 2004/2005 has damaged many roads and trails throughout the San Gabriels—such as Hwy 39 to Crystal Lake and portions of Hwy 2—making some of the hikes listed below inaccessible. Check with the forest service before heading out for a hike. See news stories.
