Beautiful day, started off at Chantry Flat – pretty mellow for first several miles meandering along running creeks under the cool forest canopy. Take the 1 mile detour and see Sturtevant Waterfall early on in the hike. Within a few miles of the summit, the going gets considerably steeper and your legs will feel the burn. All in all, a gorgeous hike–one of the prettiest I’ve done in Southern California for sure. About 16.5 miles RT with waterfall detour. A good workout–about 4700′ elevation gain.
Thanks for the great report, Andrew. It’s especially beautiful with the waterfall and creeks running strong from all the rain this year.
