I'm a summer transplant in L.A. from Colorado in desperate need of a peak to climb this weekend. I've looked around to see what I could find, but I was hoping the nice folks on this site might be willing to give me suggestions on peaks near the L.A. area.
I probably don't have time to camp this weekend, so ideally it would be a place I could drive to on saturday morning, finish up by late afternoon, and be back by the evening. I can handle a high mileage, strenuous hike and would prefer something without a ton of people, but I'll take what I can get. Can anyone offer some thoughts on peaks/routes? I would also be happy with a nice desert or mountain hike without a peak, if that's what folks recommend.
Thanks so much.
Micah
