It's pretty obvious after that, though narrow. Once you reach the saddle, just make a right and keep going about 1/2 mile, until you reach the peak with the metal poll sticking out of it. That's Hastings Peak. If time and stamina allow, you can continue over Hastings Peak to the toll road, and on to <a href="http://myown100hikes.blogspot.com/2010/08/hike-84-bailey-canyon-park-to-mt-wilson.html" rel="nofollow">Mt. Wilson.</a><br /><br />John--I was initially going to make a loop of it and come down Bailey Canyon, then got lazy and just came back down the way I came, and where my car was parked.SkyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12149622862975962200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7224556886142717176.post-38292629972289719052012-02-07T20:48:55.019-08:002012-02-07T20:48:55.019-08:00It's been a year since I last visited Hastings...It's been a year since I last visited Hastings Peak; a return is well overdue. Glad to know that plowed firebreak is developing more and more into some sort of visible trail. Did you return via Bailey Canyon? I always find Little Santa Anita Canyon more scenic and enjoyable.John Y.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7224556886142717176.post-47668902766659167962012-02-07T12:50:31.300-08:002012-02-07T12:50:31.300-08:00This seems like a great one!

Are the paths to the peaks fairly obvious or signed?Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17759059813818382920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7224556886142717176.post-72184867510671863462012-02-06T23:46:47.145-08:002012-02-06T23:46:47.145-08:00Yep, Kay--Great hike ;D

Well, except for some rain tomorrow. I seem to recall it's pretty dry in the Sierra, too. Dry may be the new normal.SkyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12149622862975962200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7224556886142717176.post-4533002954929103712012-02-06T10:47:04.007-08:002012-02-06T10:47:04.007-08:00Bet those mountain lions would be excited to see a...Bet those mountain lions would be excited to see all those deer.
