After hiking up Iron, I'm going to pass on this hike until I get a jetpack.
If BHR is gonna be like Iron's South Ridge, I think I'll just stab myself in the face with a pencil repeatedly for 12 hours instead. _________________ For sale blog: http://tacoparts.blogspot.com/
man this thread was great, and then just fluttered out
I am highly intrigued by this challenge. would seem the cattle canyon way would be more practical. i wonder if anyone has been in the area recently.
as long as we don't get shot, I would like to try to make it to cattle canyon for a recon to find a route to get to Bighorn Ridge and see the brush. _________________ http://hikingscience.blogspot.com/ http://socalhikes.com

I'm interested in the recon mission. Sooner the better as far as temps go. I figure since I started this thread I'd stay involved once someone crazy enough to try it chimed in!!! _________________ Hike up! The world's about to end.
so unless we take any shortcuts, will be about 4 miles one way to get into the canyon. hike up about 1/2 mile and start exploring potential routes.
find a reasonable route to gain the ridge would be the primary goal. would also want to assess the brush, so if the ridge is gained, would like to hike up a portion (up to possibly where it merges with ridged north of Fossil canyon).
so do we think it will be a problem to hike this coldwater truck trail? actually HikeUp, did you hike on this trail already? where did you turn around?

ACME-FU! I hiked from point A to point B (about 2.8 miles one way) to look at the "possible" route from B to C - pretty much everyone agreed that it looked questionable to go from B to C. Page up in this thread to see my report on my hike down Coldwater Truck Trail.
Not an ounce of shade to be had on the truck trail and it is all uphill out of Cattle Cyn back up to Cow Cyn Saddle.
I'm undecided about where I want to hike this weekend so let me know if you decide to hike down into Cattle Cyn and I might join you. Not even sure I can get away this weekend or next. _________________ Hike up! The world's about to end.
yeah I don't mind hiking the entire coldwater truck trail and then up cattle canyon as long as the old dude doesn't mind. that's my concern.
i am probably gonna do it either this sat or next, doesn't really matter to me. which do you think you have the best shot at making? i'm leaning on next Saturday.
then this Saturday I will be coincidentally heading down to check out the Baldora mine, although I'm not sure I'll be making any recon on how to get up the west side of Bighorn ridge _________________ http://hikingscience.blogspot.com/ http://socalhikes.com
She (Suki Reed, the organizer) says that the road is open to hikers but not cyclists. Interesting. My Tom Harrison map says "no public access." I hope she's right. It does sound like they (the OCHBC hikers) had no problems while they were down there.
