    Tips

    Hiking

    Colby Canyon Trail is the shorter, but more challenging trail to summit Strawberry Peak instead of Strawberry Peak Trail (from Red Box Trailhead). You can hike via Josephine Peak or if you feel like bouldering, the Firebreak aka Mountaineers route might be perfect for you. Route finding skills are essential on the Mountaineers route, which is also exposed in some sections. You will enjoy stunning views over the Angeles Forest and the big city of Los Angeles.

    This is a stunning well maintained trail. multiple micro climates. You cross a stream a few times thus plan ahead for rainy days as they are near the bottom and it would suck if they were impassable.
