hiking the narrows cover

A few weeks ago, we trekked 5 miles into The Narrows, a well-known gold panning spot in the Angeles National Forest back in the San Gabriel mountains. The hike out wasn’t bad. We left at 7:00 AM so the air was still cool, shade in our favor. We arrived around 9:00 AM a little winded but happy to be at our temporary home for the weekend. Coming back was a different story!

camping the narrows- mountains
The Narrows. Awww… sweet sound to my ears! I’ve been working my way to this hiking/camping spot for the past two years! My boyfriend and brother told me it was a hard hike- 5 miles in the heat with hard inclines, climbing over rocks and scaling cliffs. This past weekend- it was my time! I knew my body was ready to take on this challenge and let me tell you- Continue reading →

San Gabriel mountains night hike

Two weeks ago, we ventured off into one of my favorite spots- the San Gabriel mountains- where we did a night hike about 3 miles in to a cool little spot where we panned for gold and had a relaxing weekend! I love night hikes because you can only see what’s in front of you- not what’s ahead! Continue reading →

We are doing an impromptu camping trip for one night in the San Gabriel mountains. One thing that helps me pack is my list- all the essentials! Then I don’t have to think “Did I pack that?” As we are driving down the road. What’s on your list?

Happy Camping!

The Williams fire that broke out Sunday in the San Gabriel Canyon is said to be 70 percent contained and residents are heading back to their homes. The Williams fire has burned nearly 4200 acres. Full containment is said to happen by next Thursday. Its reported that there are no harmful injuries and no structures have been lost. Unfortunately, I am eager to return to our favorite camping spot to see what damage has been done- this breaks my heart!

We left San Diego on Friday at 7:30 PM right after work to avoid the traffic. My brother lives in LA so off we went to make a pit-stop at his Tujunga house then off to the Angeles National Forrest. We arrived at 12:30 AM and got a prime parking spot. After loading up our gear on our backs we hiked about 0.5 miles to Heaton Flats campground. We noticed a ridiculous amount of people and hadn’t taken into consideration the holiday earlier that week. After setting up our camp, we situated a table out of a bucket and sluice (pronounced like “juice” with a sl- instead of j-) and got our game on with Phase 10- one of the greatest card games EVER! It was about mid-low 60’s and it felt great! After a few rounds of card and a couple shots of Jack Daniels it was off to bed where a busy day was ahead of us! Continue reading →
