Solo Day Hike Cucamonga Peak via Ice House Canyon
A Solo Day Hike to Cucamonga Peak via Ice House Canyon
Trip date: December 24, 2024
Location: Angeles National Forest, CA
Miles: 12.12 round-trip
Elevation: 4,219 ft.
It was my last big hike of 2024, and I wanted to reach Cucamonga Peak (8,862’) before the snow arrived. On the morning of Christmas Eve, I set out around 8 AM to hike 12-miles round-trip.
I’ve hiked this peak quite a few times before, but it had been awhile since my last time in Ice House Canyon. Prepared with rain gear, I was happy to have not bailed on my adventure with a 60% chance of rain.
Enjoyed some empanadas for lunch at the peak before making my way back down! I was quickly reminded why I don’t hike this trail often, my knees can’t handle the downhill. Any tips for strengthening my knees would be greatly appreciated!! 🙏

    I've noticed some knee (and back) relief by using trail runners with Dr-Scholls insoles instead of boots. I also consciously slow my pace downhill knowing how easy it can be to cruise with the gravity. I hope that is helpful.

  • @TheNodontdoit
    @TheNodontdoit 14 днів тому

    I think the big Agnes lost dog bags are perfect for ground sleeping. Huge pad sleeve keeps you on your pad all night. Less insulation underneath and wider bag basically make it so you can spin like a tornado all night and no drafts. More companies need to look at this design. I camp in hammocks aswell and have quilts I just don’t love them for ground sleeping. It’s part of the beauty of exploring the back country is there’s so much room for personal expression
