From CA-178 East, exit at Borel Rd three miles before the town of Lake Isabella. Note your odometer and go as follows: - Turn east on Borel Rd - At 0.3 mile, there's a fork. Go right. - At 1.1 miles, Swamp Flats Campground. Continue straight. - At 2.0 miles, Hobo Campground. Continue straight. - At 3.6 miles, large parking area on the right with tree in the center. Park. From the parking area (2480'), cross the road and hike up the signed Remington Ridge Trail about 4 miles to where the trail passes east of peak 6252' and drops about 100' into a final saddle. After crossing the saddle leave the trail on the right where convenient and hike west up the slope gaining 250' to the summit. (http://angeles.sierraclub.org/hps/guides/02a.htm) The hike is about 10-12 miles roundtrip with an elevation gain of 4500'. This hike is awesome in the early spring or late winter. The trail may be snowy, but it provides great views of the snow-capped Sierras. The first time I hiked it, we missed the summit and ended up doing about 18 mi of hiking. (See map here: http://goo.gl/maps/H1HbH). To avoid this, bring a GPS.

Exit the 178 at Kern Canyon Rd and go for approximately 2.5 miles to find the trailhead. The trail is maintained by Kern Back Country Horsemen of California. Judging by the tracks in the mud, mountain bikes, horses, and cows all use the trail, but on this particular day I just saw people and their dogs. Although the trail is 7 miles in length, we only did 3.5 miles. We started off at an elevation of 2400' and made our way up to 4200'. We encountered four streaks that were easy to cross by jumping on rocks. The trail itself was all uphill and for the most part had wonderful scenery.

I'd rate it easy to moderate because of those hills. I brought my 5-year-old, and she was able to handle it, but she did complain on the way back, so next time I probably won't bring her. The views are really nice, and there are a few smaller trails around the area. I'm definitely planning to go again. I went a bit late around 9 a.m., and the sun was already pretty strong, so going earlier would be better. Overall, I 100% recommend this hike.

A friend and I came here to hike on a recent visit to Pine Mountain Club. We didn't camp, so this…read morereview is for hiking only. We took the Tumamait trail to the weather station at the Mount Pinos summit and picnicked at the top by the Iwhihinmu plaque. After returning to the first fork in the trail, we then hiked to the meadow and back. Altogether, this was a full day of beautiful hiking. The crisp mountain air, pine trees, high elevation buckwheat and lichen meadows, and views were all fantastic. As other reviewers have said, the hikes aren't intensely strenuous, but they can be long if you want them to be. Both Tumamait and the meadow paths are partially shaded with sunny patches. Going to the meadow, most of the hike is a small downhill slope, so keep in mind it will be mildly strenuous coming back up. For hiking, my friend and I did not have a parking pass nor could we find a place to buy one at the Nordic Station parking lot (the drive up the mountain to the lot is lovely, by the way!) We were slightly concerned, but nothing happened. No ticket, no ranger presence. Our visit was in late April, 2022. Spending time in this powerful Chumash site was wonderful. We stayed on the mountain peak for at least an hour feeling the wind whip our faces, enjoying our picnic and the views, looking at the trees and plants and snow, and enjoying being at the "top of the world." There weren't many people around, and we said hello to everyone we passed. It felt convivial and isolated at the same time. A pretty cool combination.

It can be easy to miss if your coming from out of town, but thankfully there is a tall brown sign that helps you find the right turn in spot. Just a word of advice, if you have a truck or a car that sits higher, definitely take that as opposed to a low riding car. My car sits low and was painful to hear the scratching noise it made while I drove into the parking area and out. There's actually no designated parking lot but you do have the option of parking closer toward the entrance or further in. I wasn't sure exactly how far to go, so I parked near a semi circle where there were a row of rocks and noticed while we were walking, if we went in a little further, we would've found another lot. This was our first time there and I LOVED it! We normally go to RH behind Cerro Coso College, but we've been trying to find alternative routes since we like to let our dog off the lease and there tends to be way more hikers/atv/mountain bike/bikers there. There were a few other cars there but we didn't run into anyone walking. We did see a few bikers, but thankfully there's a couple paths to choose from that lead to similar trails. The only thing I didn't like about this area, which like the other is there aren't any trash cans around. But other than that, there are definitely some challenging trails with steep paths, that seem to go on and on for miles. We also saw a couple piles of shingles, broken bottles, trash, shotgun shells and heard what sounded like loud booms (which I've heard on the other side of RH plenty of times. Now that it's getting warmer and soon, very very hot, make sure you take plenty of water, as there are no water fountains nearby. There is a Shell gas station about a quarter of a mile away, so you can pick up a couple bottles if you forgot your own!

The oak trees are a huge plus. There's actual shade here, not just a few patches, which makes a big difference in this area. If you hike out far enough you'll find old abandoned houses and structures, which is honestly one of the coolest parts. It gives the whole place a bit of history and something extra to explore. Also great for horseback riding and a solid spot to bring food and picnic without dealing with crowds. Simple, quiet, and worth going back to.
