At 8,041 feet, Waterman Mountain is the highest point in the San Gabriel Wilderness and marks the northern boundary of the wilderness. There are a couple small ski areas on its northern side and its summit can be accessed either via roads and trails associated with these ski areas or from the PCT. You get nice views from the top of this relatively flat, treed summit and there it frequently snow in the spring and into the early summer. Even though it is a tall peak, you will probably only encounter one or two other hikers, so its a fantastic place to escape the LA crowds and enjoy the fresh mountain air.
