San Bernardino East Peak

"Early start from camp at Trail Fork Springs. I avoided the snow on the way up by traversing across below Anderson. The ridge between San Bernardino East Peak and the main peak still has some pretty big snow drifts - easy to avoid by dropping slightly south if needed. Super clear day - could see Catalina Island, the Tehachapi mountains, northern SD county." — edg • May 15, 2022

"This hike started at 5 AM. Crossing Mill Creek was great and made my feet cold. Up the trail we saw forests, trees, and the wilderness sign. Then we turned onto the Momyer Creek Trail. Then the trail comes through lush forest and manzanita meadows. Then we hit a cliffside section and met up with the San Bernardino Peak Divide Trail. Then at that section, it was snowy and the snow was 3 feet deep. We summited San Bernardino East Peak. The summit had great views! Then we got on top of a snowbank. Then we summited San Bernardino Peak. It had good views, a register, and a sign. Video Link: https://youtu.be/Tzw2W8YrDuU" — lc4441 • May 8, 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

"Great hike today up one of my favorite trails. Took the Momyer Creek Trail up to the San Bernardino Divide Trail. I had read a trail report from the week previous that another group did this route and found themselves post holing for a few hours while they made their way to San Bernardino Peak. Having read this, I of course brought all my gear and snowshoed across the ridge to East San Bernardino and San Bernardino. Back to the challenge though. Today was my 16th Peak of the 2020 SoCal Six (18) Pack of Peaks Challenge and my 5th peak of the Original Six Peaks." — Philip-Yoho • May 9, 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." — klotito • Aug 27, 2017

"Took Momyer up. As trails go, it needs some maintenance. My iPhone has problems with cold and died at the top, so I had no GPS to find my way down. This led to some stress, as there were many times I was not sure if I was going the right way. As peaks go, SBD East is like walking down the sidewalk and stopping in at a 7-Eleven. It's only about 2 minutes from the Divide Trail." — jimduvall • May 10, 2015
