This is the peak on a nice cooler spring day. The fire road eroded badly in many parts. Station fire devastated much of the NW to W range as these pics show. This is probably larger than the 1975 fire which also went in this direction. Still a lot of signs of life and the chaparral coming back really quick. Some yuccas coming to bloom as well as red paint brush. Lupine and blues, whites and yellow flowers coming out. This peak can also be accessed from Stone Canyon, La Canada fire station, Deukmajian east trail, and the saddle trail from Haines Canyon. Many trails are probably in fair to poor condition due to the erosion after the recent rains. Several hang gliders seen today on the way up.
