    The Sunset Peak hike, with its gentle yet steady uphill, offers lots of beauty for all levels of hiker. For beginners, Sunset Peak lets you dip your toe into the high peaks of Angeles National Forest without anything too hairy. And for the experienced hiker, the sweeping panoramic views give you a unique perspective of all the big-name peaks. Overall Sunset Peak is a great hike that I recommend for everyone to enjoy.

    Very excited to start hiking these Angeles peaks once the forests reopen and we hopefully get some cooler weather. Thank you again for all of these guides.

    I start from a bit further down where there is a parking lot, but this has always been one of my favorite hikes! Glad to see it getting some love. I just really enjoy the views - and in spring/early summer you get some great wildflowers. Now I just need the temperature to drop about 15 degrees ;-)

    This was always a nice one for mild days. I once made the mistake of turning right at the saddle in an attempt to reach the mountain that fronts the San Gabriel valley in that direction. It's a lot farther away than it looks, and there's a lot of up and down. Actually ran out of water getting back (yikes).

    I have always been curious about that yellow gate when I ride my bike 🚴 through that area. Thank you! Got to try that on my gravel bike

      Yea, I haven't done it on a bike but I always think about how good it would be on a bike when I hike it. Nothing too steep.

    I told a non hiking friend about an easy 1,700ft. vertical gain hike in the Verdugos I did recently....she looked at me like I was half crazy.

    Great video, as always.
    Do you have any plans to do any hiking in the Rocky Mountain area?

    • @Hikingguy
      @Hikingguy  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes! I was actually there in August but couldn't go hiking beause of the air quality and haze from the wild fires. It was really disappointing but what can you do. Hoping to reschedule...

    You're so optimistic! I hate this hike lmao. Probably the worst hike in the area, boring AF & in certain times of the year full of flies like crazy.
    haha great video though! Also RIP to the Witness Post that someone stole. I used to collect pictures of me with those posts and was lucky enough to get that one before it was stolen in the last few years.

    Is this trail currently open? Read somewhere that Angeles NF trails are closed till 9/17/2021 due to forest fires

    • @larrykay6606
      @larrykay6606 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Correct. Angeles NF is closed so this trail would be closed as well.

      Yea, I shot this on Aug 31, right before it closed. Hoping the forest is getting a much-needed rest and recharge with the closure and rain.

    Hiking groups always have parties up there, most are good and clean up. However, there’s been times where trash is left behind.

      Yea, it's the main spot for one group in particular in the evenings.
