S. Lykken Trail

Author: Eric

• Saturday, September 27th, 2008

“Tree Near Laws Camp”, originally uploaded by Cobber99 on Flickr and is part of the photo album linked to below.

Paul and I hiked the South Lykken Trail in 105 degree heat which made the starting 800 foot climb a lot more strenuous. By the time we were up, we had the might of the San Jacintos to provide shade and made our way north. I discovered one of Florian’s caches and got down in the dark.
