Inspiration Point – San Gabriel Mountains

Inspiration Point via loop trail

This hike was done as part of a 7.92 loop from Eaton Saddle to Inspiration Point with a visit to Muir Peak, and then back up the hill to Mt. Lowe. On the way back up I spotted a rattlesnake burrowing in a rock pile (at 2:55 in the vid). A very mild incline to start the hike and then a stroll downhill to Inspiration Point where you will find a structure with spotting tubes focused on specific points of interest.
