"I started late on this hike, and it took longer than I thought it would. The summit was a bit windy overnight, but not bad. With the millions of people in Southern California, I find I’d amazing that I had the highest point to myself! Awesome!" — Mojavewanderer • Jun 13, 2022
"I started at 5Am and it was not dark atall. It was not a grind to get to Mill Creek because it was a flat and paved road. Mill Creek crossing was fine, just a little rocky. We moved up to the San Gorgonio Wilderness signs and they were cool. Then after that there was cool mixed conifer forests for awhile. Then we saw the Vivian Creek Camp. Then we saw Halfway Camp. After that came High Creek. P>S it was boring up to High Creek except for the High Creek Falls. Then we climbed up a steep gully up to the ridge. The ridge had this neat viewpoint and some boring summits along it. Then there was deep snow and a steep climb to San Gorgonio's saddle. Then we took lots of pics of the signs and the treeline. The summit had superb views, a sign, and no benchmark (some big idiot stole it)." — lcnguyen • Mar 15, 2022
"Beautiful backcountry day - hiked up the South Fork Trail until within a half mile of Dry Lake, then skinned up one of the chutes. Switched to frontpointing for the last 1000 feet of ascent given the hard packed / icy terrain. 30 mph winds made for a chilly summit - summited West Peak, then hiked over to the main San Gorgonio summit. Skied down to just above Poopout Hill by staying as far left as possible, and ascending 100ft or so to stay on snow. Total of 5,400 feet ascent, 10-hour day. " — danishclimber • Feb 6, 2022
"I am sometimes asked what my most difficult hike has been. Right now I can say it was this one! over 18 miles, with over 1 MILE in vertical gain. But it was a great day for a long hike. Started out an hour late because of a marathon in the area had the highway blocked! And starting about 6 miles into the hike, it was take 25+ steps, then stop and huff n puff! All the way to the top. And as you might expect, spectacular views from 11,500'. On the way out, made a couple of quick layovers to San Gorgonio West Peak, and then later to Peak 10131. Not long after that, the sun set, so the final 2+ hours of my hike was by flashlight. " — marc • Nov 9, 2019
