After reading the hike summary, I knew this would be a toughy as it was only 12 miles, but with a heck of a lot of elevation packed in there! That said, the gang met up at the trialhead at 6 and off we went at 6:30.

THIS. TRAIL. IS. THE. MOST. BEAUTIFUL THING I'VE EVER SEEN.

Green, so green. So lush. It's amazing that something like Gorgonio can be in the same mountain range. It wasn't NOT steep, but it really didn't feel so bad because it was just such absolutely stunning scenery. And my hiking group wasn't too terrible too. 🙂

We spent about an hour at the summit where we sat high up on the rocks overlooking what seems like all of Southern California, and even managed to meet a few of the other SoCal Hikers doing the Six Pack of Peaks.

Down we went. Steep, but also pretty and a bit overcast at that point. Awful outhouse experience, do not recommend. Otherwise lovely day!
