My alarm rang at 3:15 a.m. on Saturday morning. Whoever said weekends are for sleeping didn't live in Southern California. By 6:00 a.m. I had driven two hours to the Vivian Creek trailhead just past Forest Falls, CA. I joined a Sierra Club hiking group to complete the 18.2 mile, 5,600 ft. in elevation gain, round trip to San Gorgonio, the tallest point in Southern California. San G hails at 11,500 ft. The weather, the company, and the views made for the perfect Saturday.
Pictured here is the trail just before the peak,
our group,
and two trees - the white one had been struck by lightening.
