I: Backus Peak (6651'), Russell Peak (6696') - As one drives north from Mojave, these peaks rise magnificently into view, beckoning for a visit, inviting a ridge traverse between the two. Added to the HPS list in 1999, both peaks were named in recognition of the extensive leadership and service of two men. John Backus was a highly accomplished physicist, musician, and climber who conceived and realized the idea of leading the entire HPS list. Bill T Russell was a supreme leader, navigator, instructor, and climber -- a Triple list finisher (HPS, DPS and SPS). Honoring their example, we will be hiking 8.5 miles with 4000' gain, enjoying views of the Sierra, the high desert and Indian Wells Valley. Please bring liquids, lugsoles, layers, lunch and hat.

I: Old Man Mtn (5538'), Monte Arido (6010'): Expansive views of the magnificent Pacific Ocean, wild and remote canyons and ranges, and beautiful pine forests on steep northern slopes reward the eyes and prove that one mountain is misnamed, for arid and barren it is not. The other is aptly named. While one of the canyons is rumored to have been the hideout of Joaquin Murietta, another, Old Man Canyon, was named for Jose Ortega, a descendent of a member of the Portola expedition, 1769-1770, "the first recorded European land entry and exploration of present-day California".

This was a "mine" in name only, and it not only never paid off but was one of the great frauds of its age, ruining many of its gullible British backers. Total distance will be about 9 miles, and total elevation gain will be around 2600 feet. Please bring water, lunch, hiking footwear, sun block, layers & hat. Contact the leader for details.

O: Suicide Rock (7528'), Indian Mtn (5790'), Thomas Mtn (6825') - Enjoy the multitude and variety of great views accompanying our visit to these peaks near Idyllwild. All three points share a connection to Helen Hunt Jackson, author of Ramona. Indian Mountain's name traces back to a Soboba tradition of naming creeks running through their land, possession of which they almost lost until an 1883 report, co-authored by Jackson, contributed to the establishment of the Soboba Indian Reservation. Suicide Rock is linked to efforts to boost late 19th century tourism with the telling of a story that has elements of Ramona and Romeo & Juliet -- an Indian princess and her lover jump to their death, rather than live separated from one another. And, one of the approaches to Thomas Mtn is via the pretty Ramona Trail. Visit one, two or all three peaks with us. Suicide Rock will be 6.6 miles round trip with 1850' gain; Indian Mtn will be 4 mi rt and 800' gain; and, Thomas will be gained with a drive up to its beautiful summit.
