This High Adventure Award was dreamt up by Ryan (an Eagle Scout in Troop 93 out of Fullerton, CA) while backpacking
in the local Southern California Mountains in the summer of 2013. Ryan and his fellow high adventure Scouts from Troop
93 had stopped for a short break along a ridge
and noticed how they could see the
outlines of San Antonio, San Gorgonio
and across the valley to San Jacinto. It was a clear day providing a spectacular 360 degree view in the local mountain’s
where these Scouts had spent many weekends camping and logging many backpacking miles. This Award was created to
encourage climbing the highest peaks and concurring the most
challenging trails in these southern California mountain
ranges. The views from all three of these “S
aints” are quite spectacular on a clear day.
