[pct-l] Santa Monica Hiking

[beholmes at pacbell.net (Ben Holmes)]

Are you looking for backpacking on just the PCT?

If not a few nice ones that I enjoyed.  

Echo Mtn/Mt Lowe.

Bear Creek

Mt Wilson Trail

Mt. San Jacinto (Boulder Basin to SJ Peak)

I would get the "Trail of the Angels" by John W. Robinson

ISBN: 0899972322 

It includes a GREAT map of the areas too.

If you are really looking for some Deep backing, try the silver moccasin
trail. 

If you hike the Silver Moccasin Trail, you'll be following the
footprints of thousands of Boy Scouts and other hikers.

The trail is 53 (set up for 5 days)  miles long starting at either
Chantry Flats or Clear Creek, to the top of Mt. Baden-Powell and down to
Vincent Gap. Boy Scouts who hike this trail receive the coveted Silver
Moccasin Award.

Enjoy

Greetings:

I'll be spending Christmas with relatives in Santa Monica, California
and want to spend a couple of nights backpacking in the area or on the
way back to the Bay Area. Ideas?

Peace,

Jim
