Under the right conditions, the Cucamonga Peak trail transcends what one expects from a local Los Angeles hike. Two years ago on a beautiful winter day, a ten month old Callie and I shared an amazing experience on the trail. I was blown away by the prospect that a hike with scenery and solitude that matched the Sierra was within such close proximity of my doorstep. That hike was a huge inspiration for the creation of this website, and I have been looking forward to returning to it ever since.

Don’t let the name fool you, the Devils Slide Trail is a heavenly slice of Southern California hiking.

It snowed in our local foothills this weekend and Callie was on the scene to investigate.
