There are some nice ones in Idyllwild. Its been a long time since I've hiked any of them though.

Yeah, I have hiked to San Jacinto Peak. There is alpine terrain at the top. There are several ways to get there depending on how hard of a hike you want. It connects with the Pacific Crest Trail if you decide to keep hiking to Canada.

Chantry Flats to Stuyvesant falls and beyond.

Socal is too big... maybe you can narrow it down to a county at least?

In Thousand Oaks/Newbury Park, you can climb to one of the Peaks in the Santa Monica's. I don't remember the name, but if you want one in that area I can look it up for you. I do remember this as a tough one. Lot's of steep spots, and a good amount of elevation. Probably a 5+ hour hike.


In the OC, just go to Holy Jim, and take the trails to Santiago Peak. It's a mixture of hiking trails and fire roads to get to the top. That's a 10+ hour trek, with 4,000 feet elevation gain.

So many more out there...

Eaton Canyon in Alta Dena is a fun trail. Much of it is in shade and you'll arrive at a waterfall at the end. There will be multiple stream crossings so be prepared.

Mt. Baldy summit. It's a butt kicker, but you can take the chair lift part way if it's too much.
