Anderson Peak

"Cool beautiful weather above the marine layer for this 6-peak loop - lots of flowers, and some remaining snow up top. Alger Creek on the descent was particularly beautiful with running water in multiple spots - made the last 10 miles go by with ease. Note: self-issued permits are now required and can be obtained on SGWA.org" — danishclimber • May 28, 2022

"Climbed the badly burned and damaged Forsee Creek trail up to Trail Fork Springs. The spring was trickling but enough for me to refill. After setting up camp, I headed up to the divide, dodging the remaining snow. Shields was a fun class 2 up to an amazing view of San Gorgonio, Yucaipa Ridge, and Big Bear Lake to the north. Anderson had cool trees, but they obscured the view from the summit." — edg • May 14, 2022

"June 28, 2020. Backpacking 9 peaks day 2. From High Spring Meadow to the 5 eastern peaks and down Momyer. Going down Momyer Trail was horrible: calling it overgrown is an extreme understatement. The trail nearly disappears in some places and you have to hold your arms above your head to squeeze through the shoulder height bushes. Wear long sleeves or you will be scratched to pieces. I will never hike Momyer again. Miserable. " — runningvegan • Jun 28, 2020

"As if doing the 2020 SoCal Six (18) Pack of Peaks twice isn't enough, lets add 7 more peaks to the challenge. The San Bernardino to San Gorgonio (peaks 4 and 5 of round two) Nine Peak Challenge which also incudes San Bernardino East Peak, Anderson Peak, Shields Peak, Alto Diablo Peak, Charlton Peak, Little Charlton Peak, and Jepson Peak. My friend Tara and I met up late the night before. Staged a vehicle at Vivian Creek and then drove up to Angelus Oaks to begin our journey. We stepped off right around 11pm on the 12th and headed up to our first peak of the day, San Bernardino Peak" — Philip-Yoho • Jun 13, 2020

"What a great hike this was. We took the Forsee Creek Trail up to Anderson Peak. Then we followed the San Bernardino Divide Trail a short distance to San Bernardino East Peak and then on to San Bernardino Peak. From San B we took a quick visit of the Washington Monument on our way to Columbine Springs turn off. Once there we head north east down to Johns Meadow and back out to Forsee Creek. A great day of hiking with Tara, her husband Chris and Heather. All totalled we ended with 18.66 miles and 5115 feet in elevation gain." — Philip-Yoho • Oct 12, 2019

"Great hike today with my hiking partner Brenda. We tackled three peaks (San Bernardino, East San Bernardino and Anderson Peak) today with a side trip to the Washington Monument. We began our hike from Angelus Oaks and descended via Momyer Creek Trail." — Philip-Yoho • Sep 29, 2018

"Peak #5 of the SoCal Six Pack of Peaks Challenge. A three peak day. We began at Angelus Oaks and hikes up to the Washington Monument, East San Bernardino Peak and Anderson Peak. We descended down the Momyer Creek Trail into Falls Canyon" — Philip-Yoho • Jun 16, 2018

"Bike and hike loop. Left the bike at the Forsee Creek TH then drove back to Angelus Oaks. Hiked up and over San Bernardino, East SB, Anderson, and Shields, then down the Forsee Creek trail. A 6 mile downhill ride closed the loop. HPS Peak # 140. Put me over the halfway mark." — klotito • Aug 27, 2017

"This peak has the chillest approach to the peak I've ever encountered. It's a big open sand mound with a few pines rising up out of it. Nice view of Gorgonio from there, too." — jimduvall • May 10, 2015
