We hiked Gorgonio in a day via Vivian Creek. 18 miles. Going up was much easier than down. I brought some knee straps after this one. I've mainly been mountain biking the last two years so my leg muscles were good for the climb, but I haven't done much activity that would even slightly resemble high impact. My knees got a rude awakening after this one (my first of the 6).
I hiked Gorgonio 15 years ago and did it in two days. Doing this one in two days is definitely more enjoyable. Just make sure to book a campsite well in advance. All sites were full so we did it in a day.
Met some fellow 6 Peakers along the way.
