Hot hike in the Santa Ana's
This hike is really exposed – bring way more water than you think you need.
The hike to Modjeska Peak is steep and dry – lots of loose gravel, bugs and exposed trails.
The hike to Santiago Peak has a trail that is washed away and requires to navigate around it adding about a mile to the hike. The climb is steep but has some shaded areas.
The most annoying part of the hike was the traffic on the fire road – watch out and be aware of the dust it throws up.
Overall I would not recommend this hike – glad it's off the list.
