Cross and Chuckwalla Mtns - Southern Sierra - 3.22.14

A day hike from Jawbone Canyon to Chuckwalla and Cross Mountains. The hike should be about 12 miles with 4300' gain, but I did about an extra mile and 400' gain when I had to backtrack to find a hiking pole I sat down and forgot to pick up. I am really glad I went back and found the pole because it really helped in the scree slope I went down to get off of Cross Mtn.
