Last Wednesday, I led a small group of hikers in the Altadena area. I decided to make it a loop hike. We started at Chaney Trailhead and continued on the Sunset Ridge trail to the Dawn Mine trail..
There was several stream crossings. The canyon ws lush green and so pristine. Just a beautiful hike after the last rainstorm.
We found a few mushrooms. There were mini waterfalls along the way.
This trail was restored a year ago by the Restoration Legacy Crew. Ithe 2009 Station Fire destroyed most of the trail.
Although people were still hiking through it, it was tough to navigate. The RLC did a beautiful job at restoring the trail.
They've made impressive staircases and rock walls. The trail itself is easy to follow.
After taking a break at the mine we continued to ascend the trail to the road for a short while then descended the trail again back our cars.
Afterwards we checked out Lower Millard Falls then climbed to the top of the falls.
Rope is needed to ascend the steep trail and the narrow trail to the top is sketcy. Not for the faint if heart.
Stats: 9 miles, 1800' gain
