Comment on Cactus to Clouds Hike to San Jacinto Peak Trip Report by Logan Palanisamy

Thanks for the details.

I have done Yosemite Half-Dome, and Grand Canyon Rim-To-River-To-Rim (South Kaibab down, Bright Angel Up) as day trips. I am doing Mt. Whitney as an one-dayer on May 26th, 2012.

C2C is the one I am targetting next.

For what it is worth, I live in Bay Area and am 50-years old.

This info is great. We are doing Grand Canyon Rim to Rim in two weeks and although not looking past it, we are looking for the next hike to do and we think this is it.

I would love to attempt this route over the summer (2012). Is anybody interested in doing it in July or August?

Comment on East Fork to Eagle Mine Exploration by Daven Gray

The small mine tunnel you found not far up and to the left of the stamp mill is an early working. The main Eagle Mine tunnel is way up the hill behind the stamp mill, a couple hundred yards. There is a drystack stone wall that traverses the mountain. The tunnel opening is up behind the left side. There is an old forge and a couple “four banger” engines on a frame, just outside. The drystack wall ends abruptly 50′ or so to the south. This is where the avalanche took out the wall and cabin in 1933. There are some photos of other mines on my website, which is Daven Gray Rockwork.com Click on “other interests” on the top bar on the homepage. DG

So which zoomed in peak is that? My friend and I have a bet. He says it’s Big Kaweah. I told him he’s a fool. It’s obviously Echo Mtn. Easy money.

Fantastic site. That video of the stamp mill looks right out of a movie. I featured a story on my site of that recent mountain lion killing. I was curious to know if you’ve ever come across one?

@DayEarly,

Well I did live in Los Angeles, but now reside in the Bay Area. However, I do head back down a few times a year and hike, and there’s a good chance that I’ll do this guy again either late spring to next fall, as its a great one.

If you guys plan on repeating the hike in full in 2012, I’d like to join you now that you have scouted the way.

I know there are others hiking, but other groups might not make the full ascent and you guys have proved yourselves.

What part of the State do you live in and HQ at ?
