CONDOR PEAK VIA WEST RIDGE | Angeles National Forest | San Gabriel Mountains

Описание: Condor Peak sits at 5,440 feet elevation, along the eastern end of the Angeles National Forest just North of Mount Lukens and Big Tujunga Canyon. Named after the infamous California Condor for its historic nesting activity in the area, its peak is rumored to have seen the endangered bird since as far back as the 40s.
The summit can be reached via two official trails. In this video, I ascend the peak via a class 2/3 cross country scramble along the peaks west ridge. From Trail Canyon, I reached Trail Canyon falls. From the top of the falls, we catch a use trail onto the ridge. Eventually we hit Condor Point, a pseudo peak along the route. After a short scramble and some more brush, I reached Condor Peak and eventually Fox Peak, where I enjoyed sunset. Then I descended via the Condor Peak trail. I had to walk back to the car at Trail Canyon along Tujunga road.
