San Gabriel Peak

Climbing San Gabriel Peak, Mount Deception & Mount Disappointment

A great way to quickly hike 3 HPS peaks. Start at the Eaton Saddle, get San Gabriel for sunrise, followed by Mt. Disappointment and then Mt. Deception. 4 miles round trip if done alone from Eton Saddle. About 5 miles round trip if combined with both Mt. Disappointment and Mt. Deception. If you want to loose more elevation than you gain, do a car shuttle and start at Eaton Saddle and finish further down the Mt. Wilson Rood at the trailhead for Mt. Deception (0.4 miles from the Red Box Ranger Station).

Eaton Saddle on Mt. Wilson Road- this is the best trailhead to use if combining the hike with Mt. Deception & San Gabriel Peak
