This report is a few mos. late...& it appears I haven't even written a report since Xmas. Yikes. I hope to one day catch up. confused.gif So, I did a similar hike on my b-day, & about a month later decided to take my group to the area. up.gif We started from the Redtail Roost TH in the Laguna Mtns.

We walked NW along the lightly forested ridge, then turned left when we hit the Escondido Ravine trail.
This road-trail turns south, then hits the more heavily forested Agua Dulce Ravine. Some big trees in this area (by SoCal standards). smile.gif
We turned right/NW, passed Agua Dulce Well, hit Boiling Spring Ravine, & entered Laguna Meadow. The trail skirts the southern edge of the meadow, & we took a break on some rocks & checked out the cows & horses in the distance. dizzy.gif

Continuing on, we entered Chico Ravine & made a gentle climb up to the Old County Road.
We turned left/east on the paved (but closed to vehicles) OCR, then branched left @ the fork onto a dirt road that led us to the Agua Dulce pump house where we stopped for a lookey-loo.

We hopped across the trickling Agua Dulce Creek, climbed the edge of a small meadow, then picked up the almost invisible trail that leads up to Pk. 6,010'. Here the trail turns super steep & I got surprisingly few complaints. wink.gif We passed over the top of the pk., continued onto what was now a gravel rd., & dropped back into the parking lot.

Back in town we stopped @ our usual spot for post-hike beverages. hungry.gif smile.gif
