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.
