Mt. Baldy Hike

scrippsowl — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 07:09:51 +0000

Mt. Baldy Climb

Come join O.W.L. for a trip up to Mt. Baldy this Saturday (Nov. 5th) . We plan to hike up on the Devils Backbone Trail for a nice long full day hike. *Note This is a long hike. We are not taking the ski lift shortcut.

When: Saturday, November 5th from 9:00 am to 5:00pm (depending on how long we want to chill on the summit.)

What to bring: A windbreaker or some other wind resistant shell. Lots of water and shoes you aren’t afraid to get a bit dusty. The weather forecast says it will be sunny, but there is a chance of rain on the day before the hike. If the forecast suddenly does turn foul, the trip will be cancelled. (Honestly I would rather not hike in the rain/snow)

R.S.V.P.: Please sign up by Thursday, November 3 at 4:00 pm. If you can and are willing to drive hikers to Mt. Baldy please e-mail me as soon as possible. Please note that we will be limited by the number of seats in the car(s) that people are willing to use to drive us up.

Fish Canyon or Mystic Canyon Hike

scrippsowl — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 18:05:41 +0000

When: Saturday, April 9th. 9am-4pm

Tired of being in the mundane Claremont bubble? Ready to go on a 6 mile adventure complete with waterfalls? If so then join us on Saturday, for a fun hike . Also, if there is snow, and conditions are safe, I will bring sleds to go sledding on the side.

What to bring:

Hiking boots
Water Shoes (not a necessity but there are river crossings)
Warm synthetic cloths( no cotton as it doesn’t keep you warm if wet)
Your own bag lunch from the dining hall
Water

So the 7 day weather forecast says it might be raining, but I will still go rain or shine. Since the river will be influenced by the rainfall, if it seems unsafe, we will turn back and go on a shorter hike in the area.

We really need drivers so if you have a car, please contact me at Geckogirl1000@yahoo.com.
