BEFORE YOU GO
Adventure is better
with a little homework.
Carry more water
Southern California is dry and exposed. Pack generously, start early, and turn around before heat or fatigue makes the choice for you.
Leave it better
Stay on durable surfaces, pack out everything, respect wildlife, and follow local fire rules. These places depend on all of us.
