Vincent Gap

USA / California / Wrightwood /
 hiking, mountain pass
This is Vincent Gap, the starting place for two significant hikes, first to the top of Mt Baden-Powell and second to Big Horn Mine. The hike to Baden-Powell is moderately strenuous, but that doesn't keep the hordes from going there. Expect to see many others along the trail and at the top. As well with Big Horn Mine, though the trek there is much lighter and less time consuming. It is a shorter hike still to Vincent Cabin. If you are really adventurous you can head down into the Vincent Gulch and find much to explore.

Here is some information about the man for whom this place is named:
