Fantastic VHF into LA so be prepared for a pileup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Check to make sure the road is open.<\/strong> There has been a lot of construction up there over the last 3 years. The Angeles Crest Highway is a target rich environment for SOTA so choose a few and get to work.  The top has some epic views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n\nI&#8217;ve been to Mount Baden-Powell several times. You can double with a hike over to W6\/CT-005, Throop via the PCT from the top of Baden-Powell but it will add another 5 miles to your day (long day for me when I did that with W6RWS). However that was pretty much our only choice since the Angeles Crest Highway was closed at Baden-Powell that year. If you&#8217;re feeling really adventurous, keep hiking on the PCT for a stop at W6\/CT-010 Mount Islip (something that I didn&#8217;t do).\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the way home, stop by Table Mountain for an easy driveup to W6\/CT-067 Table Mtn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve been wanting to do the hike from Baden-Powell to Throop for a while.  It looks easy from the summit of Baden-Powell but it was a long day for me and Jacob.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s a very nice hike. We were prepared for cool temperatures, and that turned out to be a good thing. One year there was still enough snow and ice to cover some of the trail. We did OK without micro-spikes but it was cold. Not super cold unless you counted the wind, which was whipping in some parts. It\u2019s a fairly tall summit .  I\u2019m guessing this is a bit tough to get to when the entire thing is covered in snow which would explain why Chris and I were the first activators of 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":991,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-988","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tripreports"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/w6sota.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/988","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/w6sota.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/w6sota.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/w6sota.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/w6sota.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=988"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/w6sota.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/988\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":996,"href":"https:\/\/w6sota.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/988\/revisions\/996"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/w6sota.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/991"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/w6sota.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=988"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/w6sota.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=988"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/w6sota.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=988"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
