We started at Imperial Highway and La Palma in Anaheim and followed the Carbon Canyon Century route up Carbon Canyon to China Hills. Lisa Kenford gave us a great route that took us over to Puddingstone to San Dimas to the base of Glendora Mountain Road. We then climbed up Glendora Mountain Road to Glendora Ridge Road to the top at Cow Canyon Saddle and over to the Mt. Baldy Ranger Station. We had a blast flying straight down to Glendora. We then went back the same way and in via Brea Canyon.
