We completed the first of our pre-Half Dome conditioning hikes this weekend with an overnight hike to Hoegee's Campground in the Angeles National Forest. The hike was 3 miles in and the same out as we hiked the two different trails on the loop. Although the altitude was only about 3,000 ft., it was pretty green. A creek runs through this area, and we had to cross it quite a few times. The troops did a great job, helped with camp set up and take down, and loved playing in the creek. My personal favorite was falling asleep to the sound of both the creek and an owl hooting in the trees. Our hiking shoes and poles were a great investment as were the small backpacks we found on sale for the girls. Hike #2 is scheduled for June. Stay tuned...
