Hit all possible summits
Beautiful cirrus skies made up for the mediocre views. An LASD helicopter ran some SAR test runs near the summit in the afternoon. This is a beautiful transition zone between chaparral and conifers - and the Horse Flats campground below is actually a delight.

Rosenita Saddle
After Finishing Bare Mountain decided to check this one out since I was in the area. A nice quick one with a large flat summit plateau. Nice views but nothing outstanding. On to Mount Emma.

From Chilao via Silver Moccasin Trail
Easy out and back from Highway 2. Impossible to say where the highpoint is on the summit, though I did find the register. Views were eh.

Multiple Getaways
Many times with the wife and kids.....even dragged my sister-in-law up, set-up the tent and listened to her snore! I found one of the mattress people's bud in a baggy on Earth Day 2007!

Dayhike
The high point is very indeterminate. There's probably 10 points all vying for the highest spot. Views are about the same from all of them - mediocre, except for the extreme S end of the ridge, which is pretty decent.

Cool little peak!
Found the most amazing site ever for snowplants. Tons of snowplant covering the ground.

Nice early morning climb
A nice, cool early morning climb. We started at 6:30 am and didn;t see anyone along the trail. We hiked up from the southeast and followed the ridge north to the rood as a loop. Check out the GPS tracks.
