San Gorgonio Peak conquered once again. Total of 21 miles, 3,684’ total elevation gained and 10.5 total hiking hours. Our adventure started on the 7.5 miles dirt road to Fish Creek TH, off Hwy 38. We took a route less traveled to San G via Fish Creek Trail. It was re-opened in Aug 2018, after the Lake Fire in 2015. The massive devastation of the fire still very evident, but life grows back in the forest with so many blooming wildflowers everywhere. And among interesting site along this trail is the plane wreckage of a C-47 military plane that crashed on 12/1/1952, killing all 13 military passengers. There is a memorial plaque right next to the wreckage. It can be found at approximately 10,500′ level.
