Mt Josephine, Angeles NF
I would like to note that this hike marks the 4th anniversary of my hikes.txt hiking log. The log doesn’t note *all* the hikes I’ve ever been on, but it’s most of them. (I started it with my first pair of real hiking boots. However, my first real hike as an adult was Mt Monadnock, when I was 21 or 22 or so. Thanks Jake!). Anyway, this hike put me at about the 325 recorded miles hiked mark. “It’s a start!” Here’s to well more miles than that in the future…
Anyway, hiking! This was a surprise 8 mile hike up Mt Josephine (5558′, 1900′ of gain), via the Mt Josephine Fire Road. (A surprise because the guidebook listed it as 6 miles, trip #35 in Trails of the Angeles). I went with Erin, Ben, and his friend Matt. There had been rain in Pasadena the prior day, which meant we had fresh snow nearer the top of this hike!
know your safety stats!
thanks google
