This hike was was a group hike with 3H (Hiking-for-Health-and-Happiness). This group hike with was different from the usual hike to Sitton Peak in that the group started the hike at a different trailhead: Morgan Trailhead. The route was from the Morgan Trailhead to Sitton Peak and after the descent, head to the Bear Canyon Trailhead/Ortega Oaks Candy Store via Bear Ridge Trail. Which made this a point-to-point hike with a shuttle arrangement at the parking lot for Bear Canyon Trailhead.  The day turned out to be sunny despite the fact that it is still winter. The route on the Morgan Trail section was scenic and so was the Bear Ridge Trail. There were berries seen on the trail but I could not tell if they were ripe or not in any case, I didn't pick any of them. The ascent to the summit was as usual the slowest part of the hike. But it was worth it. We could actually see Catalina from the summit and also Santiago Peak with its antennas.  When we got back to our cars at the Morgan Trailhead we saw several paragliders airborne.  We started at 6:30 am and finished around 2:00 pm.  All in all, an excellent hike
