Also on this hike
This hike was definitely my least favorite thus far. But glad I did what is considered the highest peak in Orange County. There is a truck on the road with a broken axel and who knows how long it’s been there. There were more off tossing vehicles than hikers hands down. The actual hike reads moderate but I found it easy.
I thought Santiago was closed? How long did it take you to finish?
Not closed, it’s a relatively easy hike. But there are a lot of off tossing vehicles. I think it took about 3 hrs to finish. Keep in mind that the toad to the trail head is really bumpy. You will need a bigger vehicle like a Jeep or SUV to get to the trail head.
Great, thank you for the information!
