Trip Report:	I hiked this one alone. A few spots of drizzle along the way. Mostly sunny with clouds coming and going. Excellent views of nearby ranges but, marine-layer prevented clear views beyond front-range. I was a little slow starting because, I have not hiked in 3 weeks. I have been sick with strep and then the Flu, and have not worked out in that time. I was really feeling it for the first half of this hike. I took a few "breath" breaks in between. 7:30=Start, first switchbacks a little steep 8:05=snack break 8:15=Resume 8:38=Meet with fire road at 1.3mile mark follow road up to saddle 8:44=Reach saddle, rest, take in view. 9:00=Resume, follw trail up to San Gabriel Peak 9:22=Summit, San Gabriel peak 9:45=Depart Summit 9:57=Back at saddle, No stop. Follow Mount Disappointment Fire road to summit. 10:08=Reach Mt. Disappointment summit. 10:20=Leave Summit 10:31=At intersection of trail/fire road. Continue down trail. 11:00=At Truck
