    My friend and I went hiking in Claremont and intended on doing the loop, but when we saw the sign…read moreleading to Potato Mountain, we decided to head up! I've only heard about this spot, but have never been so I was excited to explore. The hike is not shaded and has a steady incline, so I was grateful that it was overcast and cool most of the day. The trail is wide enough for a car to drive on, and no major rocky areas, so I would say that if you were reeeeeally ambitious and wanted to push a jogging stroller up and down, you probably could. There are occasional bikers that we passed, but otherwise just a few hikers doing this trail, much less than the number of people doing the loop, which I actually liked. With the exception of the ugly graffiti on the concrete thing at the top, we were rewarded with a beautiful view of the valley on one end, and snow capped mountains on the other end. It didn't take that long to summit ( I think it took us less than an hour each way), so if you have a couple hours for something a little more challenging than the loop, this is a good hike! Parking is available in the lot starting at $10 (Yikes!) on the weekends. Enjoy!

    First time visitor There are not bathrooms anywhere…read more There are a few (3?) trash can / compost / recycle green bins at the start of the trail There is not a designated parking area if coming on MT Baldy RD, park after the last No Stopping Any time sign (will see Angeles Forest large sign) then can park on the side of the road and forward Be aware of oncoming traffic both directions when walking to the trail head Bring a hat, sunglasses, sunblock, water, snacks It is dog friendly but tough for stroller I think based on continual incline and gravel and rocky terrain Also note air may feel thinner as you start the trail so be mindful of your breathing and take rest stops Start of trail will be walking through shaded area with tree and can hear water and as continue the pathway make your descent up As you make your way further up, there will be part to turn left or go straight to the right, head to the left to continue upward - you'll see amazing clouds surrounding the mountain and the trail continuing You'll see a pathway that curves down the hill then back up, a right triangular metal sign will indicate going the right way and almost to the end of the trail. Other markers is seeing small forms of graffiti and the name Joey tagged on things Once on top, enjoy your accomplishment and then it's primarily a down hill return Enjoy Hydrate Limited cell service pending what part of the mountain on Enjoy the birds flowers rock formation little critters that pop In and out Would certainly return to try the other routes to potato mountain

    Good hike good place to take photos and hang out with friends pretty cool place to look atread more

    I did this hike last month in April. We were lucky to do it with good weather. Also, we started…read morethis hike from the northern side where the Stoddard Peak trailhead is located. We started the hike early too, which always helps with a hike of this distance. We started at 5 AM and hiked to Stoddard Peak which is a beautiful and pretty easy hike. We then continued on the main trail south toward Frankish Peak. I have to be honest and admit that I had never heard of this trail until the weak before when I got the invite from one of my hiker friends to join a group of hikers to do this one. We hiked for another 2.5 miles and then reached an area where there are some connected trails and this area was beautiful and we didn't encounter any hikers/mountain bikers during the first half of this hike. At this point we had to make a decision to take a trail way out to the east that looked to be a longer route to Frankish Peak or what looked like a more direct, steeper trail to the peak. We opted for the shorter route...problem was it looked like a trail on the map and looked like it may have actually been a trail at one time but this trail has not been maintained or used by the looks of it in may years. We had to walk through sharp shrubbery and even had to get on our hands and knees and crawl under the brush for portions of the last mile to the peak...most of this last mile was also rather steep. We were also a bit disappointed to not find anything that officially looked like we were at the top of Frankish Peak. We stayed for a while on what looked like the peak according to the map and we also made our way to another high flat area nearby where we found a box with some hiking stickers that might indicate that was the peak. On the way back, we took the longer trail that was better maintained and not as hard Distance- from the Stoddard trailhead to Stoddard Peak and Frankish Peak and back to the parking lot was about 14 miles Duration- I would estimate it to take around 7 to 8 hours of your time including time to eat, take pictures, etc... Difficulty- hard not necessarily due to the overall elevation gain but mainly due to the pieces of steep, rocky stretches and the overall length of 14 miles
