"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

"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 by way of the Washington Monument. After San Bernardino Peak we followed the San Bernardino Divide Trail all the way to San Gorgonio. Along the way we summitted the other 7 peaks in the challenge and finished of with San Gorgonio Peak. After a long break on the summit, we headed back down by way of the Vivian Creek Trail. It was a long hard day on the trail and going down, neither o us thought it was going to end." — 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
