Hello. I think this would be a nice one!
Any one hike this latley? any info?
Not recently...
You need a permit to drive to the trailhead, though it is possible to hike up on the Sisar Trail. That could be a tad on the warm side this time of year
I agree it's likely to be hot now. I hiked Hines Peak and Topatopa Bluff last spring via Sisar Canyon. The canyon was beautiful and it's a nice peak, although a good portion of the route is on a dirt road.
The route to Hines Peak that interests me the most is via Santa Paula Canyon. The Tom Harrison map shows the Last Chance Trail going through to the ridge, but when I visited it a year or two ago the trail appeared to vanish after Jackson Hole, leading to a potentially severe bushwhack. An attempt by the HPS in 1994 was unsuccessful. Has anyone done this?

It's my understanding that volunteers have been out there, what progress has been made ?
I'll inquire around to see if anyone I know in that area who'd be inclined to severe bushwhacking has done this trip....
The 2006 Day Fire burned down Santa Paula Canyon down to the 2950 level
