Trabuco Canyon 10/20 Mile Hike

Posted on Feb 11 2012 - 9:00am

Message:

Last Saturday, on a crisp fall morning, 32 Troop 636 hikers stepped out of their comfort zone and into the urban wilderness of Trabuco Canyon. We hike 10 miles under giant Coastal Live Oak and Sycamore trees. We had to cross over the raging waters of Trabuco Creek several times (no life vests required). We were surrounded by fall colors and good friends. After a hardy lunch, four of us made the return trip.

Saddleback Peak Day Hike

Join us for a beautiful day hike to the highest point in OrangeCounty! On a clear day you can see all the way to Mexico and past Long Beach (on a foggy day you can only see 100 feet). Plan on hiking the last mile on a couple of inches of SNOW and bring some warm clothes for the top. We will have our lunch “on top of Orange County”. This is an excellent opportunity to keep in hiking shape and the hike will count towards your Hiking Merit Badge.

Saddleback Peak Day Hike (February 2012)

In the cold, darkness of last Saturday morning, 25 enthusiastic scouts, webelos, parents and friends prepared to hike "our" mountain...Saddleback (AKA Santiago Peak). From our meeting point near Live Oak Canyon Road we drove away from our urban lives and into historic Orange County. The Holy Jim Trailhead is in the Cleveland National Forest, surrounded by 100 year old oak trees. We planned the hike as a "Two Tier" event to maximize participation: a 17 mile hike to the top for older/experienced scouts and a 10 hike for younger scouts. The Holy Jim Trail, named after a legendary resident of the canyon, follows a small creek and then begins to climb the steep canyon. It was cool in the morning but we warmed up quick as we hiked. Those going to the top were led by strong scouts at the front and a couple of very fit adults. I lead the AARP sweeper team at the back of the pack. Arriving at the top (EL 5,600') at 11:15, we were fortunate to have super clear air. We looked out at Catalina Island, San Gorgonio, and the skyscrapers of downtown LA. We ate lunch, napped and took photos. The hike down was quick but enjoyable, we made it back to the trailhead by 4 PM. Another great Peak Bagging for Troop 636.
