Event Description

Here it is, by popular demand. We will hike up Millard Canyon to explore the Dawn Mine (bring your flashlight), then continue up canyon to Tom Sloan Saddle & on to the site of the old Mt Lowe Tavern for lunch. From there we drop into Grand Canyon (seldom traveled but beautiful) for a cross-country shortcut back to Millard Canyon & back down to the cars.

The hike is about 11 miles total with about 2500 feet of elevation gain. It is NOT FOR BEGINNERS. Please be an intermediate or better hiker.

Meet at Sunset Ridge above Altadena at 8:00 AM. Take Chaney Trail Dr north from Loma Alta Dr in Altadena. Parking is tight so carpooling is recommended. You need an Adventure Pass to park there. Heavy rain cancels.
