Cool video of a trail that always seemed interesting! Thank you!
Just did this hike earlier today! Studied your hiking guide and had a great time reaching the peak. Your videos and website have been so helpful, thank you!
I did this hike today after seeing your video. Great weather and incredible views!
Great video as always!
I've done this one a few times and it's a good little hike to a nice peak with awesome panoramic views. I wondered about the trail that continues beyond the boulders so thanks for that information!
Maybe I'll do a video with the continuation in it - I'll figure out a nice loop or route with it (hopefully!)
Looks like a fun one! Thank you for another fine video :)
Excellent, thank you đđ
Thank you for your content! Your videos are so so helpful!
Thank you for all
love boulders/rock formations of any type, at 7,000 ft. today viewing volcanic outcrops
That was a fun hike! I got lucky and did it in March 2017- spring approaching after a very wet winter- the chaparral was in bloom! I also remember that deflated basketball at the San Mateo Peak trail marker! It was on the ground when I did the hike! Next time, I will have to follow the trail past the peak- hopefully it leads to that small meadow just past the peak!
Ha yea, the ball was on the ground across from the sign for a long time, someone put it up there in the last few weeks. Glad you got to check out the hike - this whole area grows on me more and more.
