Ascent Trip Report This was a solo hike of a LP peak and 2 Peakbagger peaks. First was Eagle. I followed the driving directions in the LP Peak Guide. The dirt road portion is in excellent shape. Any vehicle can drive on it. When I was here 2 years ago, there were about 50-60 cars parked along the road and it was a mess. San Diego Forest Service has created a parking area at the trail head. It can hold 75-100 cars. You can’t park on the road anymore. The hike was pretty straight forward. Just follow the road west, which becomes a trail. Follow the trail up to the ridge, then across the ridge to the summit. There was a register and BM on the summit. Returned the same way.
Next was Morettis. I drove back to the junction of 79 and 76, turned left on 76 and park at a turn out a couple of 100 feet down the road. From the parking spot went southeast a short distance to the summit. On the top was a post, a BM and two directional BM’s. Returned the same way.
Last was Seek. Parked where the PCT crosses the road at the fire station. Went through the gate and went about 1 ¼ miles east then turned south and crossed country to the summit. On the summit, I found a
register and a BM, with two directional BM’s. Only 3 people had signed the register before me. The last was in 2015.
