First, I know Pasadena City College has a hiking group.  You could try contacting them.  Second, go into REI (south of the 210 on Santa Anita) and ask them.  They are helpful and even sell books of trails.\n\nThird, listen to me.  \n1.  If you want an easy hike to get to, go all the way up Lake Ave. until it dead ends into the mountain.  You'll see people parked there, and on the Right-hand side there is the start of the mt. Wilson trail.  Go up as far as you like.  \n\n2.  Eaton Canyon.  Take Colorado East until Altadena.  Turn Left on Altadena and take it North for several miles.  After you hit New York Ave., look on the Right for the turn in and parking lot to the Eaton Canyon park.\n\n3.  I'm not sure what this trail is called, but it leads to a waterfall and is pretty cool.  Go all the way up Lake, Ave.  When it dead-ends, hang a Left on Loma Alta Dr.  Follow Loma Alta until it is crossed by Glenrose.  Just after Glenrose there will be a road kind of tucked into the trees on your Right.  I believe there is a flashing yellow light outside the road.  I believe the road is called Mt. Lowe Road.  Anyway, follow it up, park when you see some trail heads.  Have fun.

NAPELS IS WAY OVER PRICED, LIKE A LOT OF PLACES IN CA. I THINK SOME AREAS WILL IMPROVE, SOME WILL STAY THE SAME, AND THOSE THAT ARE EXTREMELY HIGH WILL DECLINE. WISH MY PLACE WAS THERE. I WOULD MAKE A PRETTY PENNY IF IT WAS SOLD DOWN THERE.

yeah, I went skiing there last winter, and it was awesome! I stayed in the area Pas de la Casa, and then did my skiing in Grandvalira. It was a great place, and there are pretty good and inexpensive places to stay there right near the pistes. Also the people there are really friendly and always willing to help you. Alot speak some english as well, if you dont know Spanish or French. If your into the nightclub scene there is a place called El Pandero on Avenue D'encamp in Pas de la Casa. It was pretty fun. All around there, there are plenty of resturants as well, you will never go hungry in Andorra!

You need to come to my state and go to the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness. There are many trails and all are from easy to very hard. Great camping and you can catch your dinner every night with a telescoping fishing pole and a brass mepps spinner. My kids are 14 and 11 and I have taken them on a backpacking trip to this and other areas of my state and we just love it. You may also want to try the Seven Devils area. This trail overlooks Hells Canyon the deepest canyon in the United States. By far thought the Frank Church Wildernesas is the best. If you need more help you can e mail me at steelhead fifty three zero eight at yahoo dot com. Good luck Jeff From Idaho

There is a night club up there at the hotel (Forest Hills) which used to be called 'The View' and presume it still is.\nIt's a nice spot for a view, but not the nicest of clubs.\nGood luck - hope you get him.\nSome local kids just go up there to drink, smoke etc...at the weekends.

I have not ridden that trip, but I do think it may be worth your while to check into Adventure Cycling.  What you are talking about is pretty much what they do.\n\nGood luck and hope this helps you.

Angel~\nThe first thing that you should do is research where you are going. Know the terrain and how long you will be hiking. Is is mainly flat? Sandy, beach walking? Up and down hill walking on uneven terrain?  Lots of big rocks or boulders to walk over? I found plenty of websites for Andros Islands, just type it into a yahoo or google search engine.\nHow many miles per day and how many days? Are you camping too?  \nThe best thing you can have on you while hiking are comfortable & supportive shoes or boots.  If you're hiking on uneven terrain where you are steping on rocks or boulders and walking up hill and then back down, boots are probably better than shoes because they keep your ankles from twisting and there is a smaller chance of slipping, and you'll want boots if you are carrying a heavy backpack. You really have to go to a sporting goods store or outdoor clothing outfitter like REI, Adventure 16, Sports Authority, Oshman's, etc... and try the ones on that you like the best. You want to pay attention to comfort and the weight. You will not realize how heavy things are until you're walking long distances.\nI have Salomon hiking shoes, REI trekking boots that I only wear in really rouch terrain\nSecondly, only carry what you'll need. If you're just doing a day hike without camping you won't need much. Hydration packs, like Camelbaks are great because you carry water and the basic essentials in one pack. Or you can use a regular daypack with side pockets to carry 1 or 2 water bottles. You want to stay hydrated while hiking, it is very important for your safety and enjoyment to stay hydrated with water or sports drinks.\nIf you're just hiking for the day you do not need much. Water, hat or bandana to cover your neck or head, sunglasses, snack foods like energy bars or fruit are good, trail mixes are good too. Hiking makes you hungry so make sure you eat before, during, and after the hike. water, water, water too.\nSunscreen in a small container--> skin cancer is silent killer. doesn't matter how dark-skinned or tan you are.\nDo-take out what you bring in to any nature area. \nDon't leave any wrappers or trash\nDon't ever feed animals and respect their natural surroundings. Feeding animals causes them to become less affraid of people and when that happens they can come to too close to people and their lives become compromised...a whole seperate email for that subject.\nDo-Ask your friends what gear they like to use and what they don't like\nDon't-break-in shoes or boots on a long hike.\nMoleskin is a must-drugstores carry it. Use it to cover areas of feet where blisters or hotspots occur.\nIf you have to pee and you probably will- go more than 200 feet away from any water source. It's bad for water quality If you have to poop-dig a hole at least 6 inches deep, 200 feet away from water, and cover it up the best you can.\n\nI could keep going here. Feel free to write me back with further questions. If you can tell me what type of hiking you're doing I may be better able to answer questions.\nHiking is one of my passions in life, it is so rewarding and enjoyable. Have a great time and take pictures always! \nHere are some websites for you to check out.\nLet me know how it goes.\n\nCheers~Erin (California,usa)

I come and go on this site.  I do not see much that interests me to answer.  I plan to abandon my quest to get to 1000 and just look elsewhere for roses to smell on my journey.  I certainly do not see any roses here and many of the posts stink to high heaven.

The hike up Mount Washburn is pretty cool we saw sheep and goats.  If you have two vehicles you can hike up one side and down the other.

Food - everything is good, my fav is Sam Wo's in china town on Grant st. and big buck Sung Hung Huen (sp) right off grant and Wash st\nMake sure to take a cable car ride - you can make a whole night of it - going to all the neat spots, rest & pubs.\nBeaches there are not impresive\nGo to big sur or to wine country Sonoma napa Valley\nKamping is pretty cool up by Mt Tam (mt tamapilis) and the Russian River and if you can't drive all the way to big sur then at least drive from Pacifica to Half Moon Bay\nAnd, of course, one day and evening in Sausalito (eve) and Belvadere (day).\nGosh what fond memories this brings back... peace love cough\nThank You for the great question

I'm sorry, not enough information. You could go to the Yahoo search engine under images and enter hill or mountain image. You might find something or go back to the conference organizers for the name.

Mad River is one of the greatest ski areas ever (it's definitely not a 'resort).  It's worth going just to be on the last remaining single chairlift left in the US.  \nfavorite runs are Paradise and Fall Line.  I'd tell you where my favorite secret stashes are, but then they wouldn't be secrets, would they?  I can only say this: explore the woods, they are some of the best trees anywhere, but be careful- there are cliffs and drops that come out of nowhere.

petco park, how about a hot air balloon over the temecula valley wine region,or a gondola ride out of long beach. rent a room with a jucuzzi in it,you could have dinner delivered,set the table,candles,flowers,etc,set the mood! what could be better no phones,nobody knocking on your door except for the food of course. and then its just relax-relax no curfews,no parents!!

Brighton has great runs and has cheaper prices. Alta is a good deal if all of ya'll are skiers. Snowbird is great if you have 4 kids going w/ u, cuz of the buy two adult passes, get 1 kid pass free. In my opinion Solitude is not good cuz its mainly tourist condo and cabin stuff
