Pine Mountain Lodge

Let’s take advantage of this winter’s surprisingly balmy weather with an exhilarating hike into the usually snowbound high country.  We’ll meander uphill along a babbling stream before making a final charge up the south face of Pine Mountain, the 7,500’ ridge that forms the east-west spine of the Sespe Wilderness backcountry.

 

At nearly 12 miles round trip and with nearly 3000’ of elevation gain, this hike will be strenuous and is suitable only for hikers in very good condition.  

 

Our hike will take us about eight hours to complete, so plan on a full day outdoors and an evening return home.
