kuhla Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 I'm mainly directing this at Tino. You have casually mentioned hiking of different kinds in chat a couple of times. You serious about this? Have you done it before? If you are trying to organize something I may be down to participate but I would need to know some more details. How long in terms of time or distance? How far away? There are trails to hike in fairly easy driving distance in our area: https://www.alltrails.com/explore/us/california/murrieta?b_tl_lat=34.49009689632416&b_tl_lng=-119.26264641660208&b_br_lat=32.55052799357165&b_br_lng=-115.09714267815214 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi2155 Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 Part of my enjoyment for hiking is to enjoy the scenery vs. just getting from A to B as fast as I can. If I wanted to do that I'd just go run around the neighborhood or go on an elliptical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T1no Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/eaton-canyon-trail/photos this was suggested by my co worker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuhla Posted March 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 I'm afraid of setting of false expectations at this point so I'm going to be very direct. A 45min calm stroll on a flat path with breaks is not my idea of a good time. Even with friends. I enjoy being in nature and that is part of the reason I have enjoyed mountain biking which involves moving through nature at speed. Hiking is not something I have really done before but for me to be interested it would need to involve a longer period of time, some sweating, some elevated breathing and possibly even leave my feet a little sore at the end.

T1no Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 i dint quiet like easy trail kind of boring. i wanna do a little climbing and rocky terrains. soo peters canyon is prob a pass. but i don't want to run a trail either. i don't have the endurance. this is w.e to me. this is more like it. with elevations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi2155 Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 I'm going to agree with Tino in my preference. I'm fine with Kuhla's goals, but I enjoy simply going out. I also looking to improve aerobic performance but fast movement and endurance is not something I'm good at right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuhla Posted March 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 I am not proposing running. I already do that enough and it is challenging enough on flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T1no Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 should we do it on the weekend ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuhla Posted March 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 3 hours ago, T1no said: should we do it on the weekend ? This weekend? I'm not sure yet if I am available this weekend. I will have to get back to you We can start talking about it. I could only do this on a Saturday. Probably would want to start in the morning or maybe midday but I do think later would be a good idea. What trail were you thinking of? Eaton Canyon like you linked earlier? https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Current+Location/34.17812,-118.09664?ref=trail-action-menu-directions 45 minute drive 3.5 miles and comments mentioning this is kids friendly trail People in the comments mentioning reservations?

Jedi2155 Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 I've been Eaton canyon several times, its a good hike but not much of the actual hiking one might expect. Definitely a good walk though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuhla Posted March 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 What do we think about possibly planning something tentatively on Apr 3? Eaton is starting to sound a little to casual. So if we look for something else... Assuming we are moving ~3 mph (based on a few quick articles I found), a 6 mile hike is 2 hours of walking. Add maybe three 10 min breaks and it's 2.5 hours total. Add some driving time and now the entire trip is about 4 hours. What about something like this? https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/bailey-canyon-trail-to-jones-peak about 6 miles total 30-45 min drive elevation gain, definitely not flat Something about the same length, but probably easier with less elevation gain - https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/north-bane-ridge-trail-to-sidewinder-loop Chino Hills State Park apparently has a number of hiking trails. I saw some people talking about Lower Monroe Trail and Truck Trail but also a lot of warnings about this being heavily used by MTBers and I think that is a real concern. Because I have been one of those MTBers on monroe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi2155 Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 1. I'll be in Texas April 3rd. If we're going to do something it'll be either this weekend or might not be able to find time for a while. 2. There's actually a fairly huff and puff trail by my old place that is reasonably difficult and gives you a nice view of the nearby area: https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/california/eagle-scout-trail Also happy to do the Chino hills one.

kuhla Posted March 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 I think that is more climbing than hiking but yea sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi2155 Posted April 13, 2021 Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 After some recent events, I've realized I should not restrict myself. I'm open whenever you guys are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuhla Posted April 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 By early-mid-May myself and Tino will be fully vaccinated. I personally plan on revisiting this topic probably around that time. We can still discuss options though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
