Upper Pacoima Canyon Loop was a HARD hike! The longest yet at 7.5 miles with 1700 feet elevation gain. The end of this hike was the tough part with 700 feet elevation gain in only one mile.

This hike is out in wilderness, far away from everything and everyone. We had the trail to ourselves and didn't meet anyone all day. I wonder if this had anything to do with the fact that there is a prison camp nearby?
