This wild places program explores Southern California's most undiscovered National Forest wilderness, theCucamonga Wilderness. The Cucamonga straddles the border between theSan Barnardino National Forest, and theAngeles National Forest. It's the least-visited wilderness in the greater Southern California region.

Steve got into the wilderness with wilderness ranger Sharon Barfknecht, and district ranger Gabe Garcia. They met at theLytle Creek Ranger Station, and then day-hiked from theMiddle Fork trailhead. They hiked a few miles up the canyon of the middle fork of Lytle Creek.

There's another trailhead on the west side in the Angeles National Forest. This trailhead is inIce House Canyon. It's a much more popular way to access the Cucamonga Wilderness.

TheCalifornia Wilderness Coalitionhas proposedsome additions to the Cucamonga. They publisha map of their proposed additions. Gabe Garcia provides some news on that effort.
