The
Trail
Begin
hiking on the P.C.T. and quickly you will come upon a sign for
the Waterman Trail. Turn right and follow this route for the next
5 miles till you reach the trail junction for Twin Peaks Saddle.
Initially the trail will zig-zag up the spine of
the mountain for 600 feet. From this point, the trail will remain
mostly level through the lovely forest and Boulder- stacked ridges
till you get near the signed junction for Twin Peaks Saddle.

Along
the way you will have great views of the north face of Twin
Peaks and the upper reaches of Devils Canyon to your right.
Once you have reached the trail junction, you can either call
it a day and retrace your steps back to the car or you can descend
400 feet to Twin Peaks Saddle and lunch or camp (if you're backpacking)
amongst the towering Cedars alongside the singing stream.
Views
to the east encompass wild and remote Bear Canyon, as well as
Mount Baldy. Enjoy your time in the heart of the San Gabriel
Wilderness and return the way you came back to the Three Points
parking area.
