Overnight in the San Gorgonio Wilderness
I spent Saturday night locally in the Southern California Mountains. I planned on camping on the summit of Mt. San Gorgonio, but it got dark before I got up there. I made it about 8 miles up the trail. I guess I should have started earlier than 11:30 am to make it up the 9.1 miles with a full pack. Here are my pictures from the trip:

wingding0 - Nice pics. Thanks! The San Gorgonio Wilderness is my hangout. I've done that hike, but in three days, not two. I am sure you had to carry a lot of water.

FYI. Here is another photo of the plane crash site. I took this picture in 1989.

Oops! Make that 1991 when I took the picture. They were still searching for Jared Nagrete--the lost boy they never found.

That lost boy sure is a mystery - poor thing.

I met up with the one who got lost on the Vivian Creek Trail this summer. He was a mile or two from the summit on his way up when I was coming down. I was so surprised when he turned up missing, but glad when he showed up.

The guy this summer got lost not too far from where Jared was last tracked. I still can't believe he hiked out the way he did...for 4 days!!

Did you see him when he got lost, or a different weekend?

WD, I need my trail fix. I'm thinking about a 2 or 3 day backpack in there. Hows the water, trail, and bug conditions?

Markar - Trail conditions are great. Bugs are light. Water is low on some trails and OK on others. The web site is: http://www.sgwa.org/

You can get updates on water and trail conditions also at:

Right now the Vivian Creek trail is a good one because there is water and it is a beautiful trail. Trip Album.
