LA - Cancelled - Condor Peak Hike

- Cancelled due to COVID-19 precautions. We look forward to rescheduling! -

Date & Time: Sat, Mar 21. We will meet at 7:00 a.m. The hike starts at 7:30 a.m.

Difficulty: Strenuous

Length: 14 miles / ~ 4,000 feet of elevation gain

Meeting Place: We will meet at 7:00 a.m. at the intersection of Vogel Flat Road and Big Tujunga Canyon Road.

Parking: Park in one of the nearby turnouts on either side of Big Tujunga Canyon Road. Parked cars must display a valid Adventure Pass

Hike Description: Join Great Outdoors as we climb one of the tallest peaks in the western San Gabriels!

The climb up Condor Peak is a long, gradual climb of about 4,000 feet over 7 miles. From the summit, we'll turn around and backtrack to the cars.

There is a good description of the hike here along with a map and vertical profile.

There is no group size limit for this hike as none of it is in designated Wilderness. However, we highly recommend you RSVP so that we can reach you in the event of changed conditions. As always, we recommend you show up with the "ten essentials" as listed here. This is a strenuous hike and we expect that those who show up for it are prepared for the distance and elevation gain. The trail is almost entirely exposed (no shade) so sunscreen is a must. The temperature will likely be cool at first but will quickly become warmer, so a light and easily-removed warm layer would be ideal.
