Home away from home for hillwalkers and ramblers who happen to work together in a building in Glendale (and their family, friends and fellow ramblers). See the BR Event Calendar for upcoming hikes

Back on top and new hikes


Sun, Ryan, Paul and Elliott stretch out on Mt. Baldy

5 Bramblers returned to Mt. Baldy for a leisurely ascent up the Ski Hut trail from Manker Flats on Saturday 6/20. Actually the first time for Elliott but a return for Ryan, Paul, Sun and Ken who previously summited their first time last November 22. As before we returned via the Devil's Backbone trail and descended the ski lodge maintenance road. This time we added Strongbow cider to the summit menu and managed a 30 minute nap (see photo).

New weekly hikes have been scheduled (see Google Calendar at the bottom of the page) for conditioning hikes on Monday from the Brand Library and a more leisurely (i.e. moderate) hike on Thursdays to either Verdugo or Griffith Park destinations.

No definite plans yet for the outstanding 'Big 3' peaks now that Mt. Baldy has been 'bagged.'
