Devil's Chair Hike 

  

click photo to enlarge		 This is a 7 mile round trip hike that starts with a gradual climb in elevation but only about 600 ft. The the trail is relatively flat until the last half mile. It starts at the Devils Punchbowl LA County park. The Devil's Punchbowl is a place where the Punchbowl and Pinyon faults collide and rocks jut upward a few hundred feet.

There is a railing along the trail from the point where I took this photo out to the chair as you walk out along a narrow ridge to it. With my acrophobia I would not have been able to get out there without the railing. The views from the chair are incredible and I know I will have to take Karen on this hike also.
