If you think Southern California is all shopping malls, freeways and theme parks ... then why don't you take a hike with us! We are first and foremost a hiking club. WE LOVE TO HIKE. We have hikes for beginners, we have hikes for advanced, experienced hikers, we have hikes for everyone in between. Some of our hikes are easy, some are moderate, and some are very difficult. Our hikes can be lots of fun and a great opportunity to meet other fellow hikers. Plus we all get the opportunity to explore our wonderful mountains.

HPS Annual Awards Banquet: You are cordially invited to the HPS Annual Awards Banquet on Sunday, February 2, 2025 at the Reef Restaurant in Long Beach. Joe Young, HPS's Historian, will give us a presentation about the history of the nation's oldest peak bagging group, with its colorful characters and great achievements, Eighty Years of the Hundred Peaks Game. You're gonna need reservations. For more details and the form for making reservations (with a link for doing so online), check out our Banquet Flyer. See you there!

Viewable maps (and more!) Before visiting your favorite peak, visit your favorite peak guide ... besides the "old" maps using National Geographic TOPO!, there are now versions you can use without TOPO!, including images, files you can use in your GPS, and interactive maps on CalTopo. Many thanks to Jim Hagar.

But wait, now there's more! Check out the table at the top of the Hundred Peaks Section List that has been updated with all UTMs, plus links to Caltopo, Peakbagger, NOAA weather, Google Maps and Google Earth. Thanks again to Jim Hagar.
